The method to turn on the cold air conditioning in the Lamando is: 1. Press the AC button; 2. Rotate the temperature control knob on the right side counterclockwise to set the temperature to the blue zone. The Lamando is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4615mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2656mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 96 kW and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.

After starting the vehicle's engine, I directly locate the air conditioning control panel on the center console. Pressing the round A/C button once turns on the blue light, activating the cooling function. Then, rotate the left temperature knob to the lowest setting, such as 18 degrees, and ensure the fan speed knob is turned to the right to increase airflow. If the car is very stuffy, I first open the windows for a few minutes to let the hot air out before closing them and turning on the AC, which saves fuel and cools the car quickly. The AUTO button activates the automatic mode, where the system adjusts the fan speed and air circulation automatically—super convenient. Remember to regularly check the AC filter, cleaning it every one or two months in summer to prevent clogging and ensure efficient cooling. On hot days, avoid directing the AC airflow at your face for too long to prevent colds or dry skin. Before parking, turn off the AC and set the fan to high to dry the evaporator.

I've been driving the Lamando for several years, and turning on the AC is super easy: After starting the car, just press the A/C button with the snowflake icon to activate the compressor. Turn the temperature knob clockwise to the cold side, around 20°C, and adjust the fan speed to a comfortable level of 2-3. For automatic AC, simply press the AUTO button—it handles internal/external air circulation and fan speed automatically. On hot days, I prefer to start with internal circulation to cool the cabin quickly, then switch to external circulation for fresh air once it's cooler. Always prioritize safety when adjusting the AC—avoid distractions while driving. Check the refrigerant level every six months to ensure strong cooling performance, and replace the cabin filter if there's any odor to maintain air quality.

The air conditioning system of the Lamando is based on ECU automatic control logic. To activate cooling, the A/C switch must be turned on to engage the compressor for refrigerant circulation. The temperature knob adjusts the blend door opening to control the ratio of cold and hot air, while the fan speed knob changes the blower motor speed. In AUTO mode, the system intelligently adjusts the air vents and recirculation mode to optimize comfort. For daily operation, start the engine first, press the A/C button to ensure normal cooling operation, and check the compressor belt tension and voltage stability. If cooling performance is weak, regularly inspect the refrigerant oil and refrigerant pressure. Check the ventilation path to avoid blockages that may affect airflow distribution, ensuring uniform temperature and faster cooling.

In summer, I pay the most attention to the comfort of the air conditioning when driving the Lamando. After starting the vehicle, I immediately press the A/C button to turn on the cooling, set the temperature to the lowest level of 18 degrees, and adjust the fan to medium speed to cool down quickly. The AUTO function allows for intelligent control, making it hassle-free. I prefer to switch between internal and external circulation appropriately: using internal circulation to avoid exhaust fumes in traffic jams and external circulation for fresh air on highways. Avoid directing the air vents at the chest for too long to prevent catching a cold. When the air conditioning is running, the vehicle's fuel consumption slightly increases, so I recommend driving smoothly to save energy. If the air conditioning is not used for a long time, run it for a few minutes each month to keep the system lubricated. After parking, clean the dust to maintain efficiency and prevent odors.
