How to Turn On the Cooling in the 10th Generation Civic?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the cooling in the 10th Generation Civic: The car air conditioning switch is located on the car's center console. The A/C button is the switch for the air conditioning compressor. For automatic air conditioning, the switch is the AUTO button. To activate the air conditioning cooling, press the A/C or AUTO button, then adjust the fan speed and direction according to your needs. Below is an introduction to how the air conditioning works: The engine runs, the A/C switch is turned on, the electromagnetic clutch engages, the engine power is transmitted to the compressor, the compressor circulates the compressed refrigerant to the evaporator, the refrigerant vaporizes in the evaporator and absorbs heat to produce cold air, and the fan delivers this cold air into the cabin.
After starting the car, I usually press the AUTO button on the climate control panel, and the system automatically begins cooling. The temperature adjustment knob is crucial—I turn it below 25°C, say to 20°C, and if the airflow feels too strong, I use the small button nearby to reduce it. On the central display, I can also switch between recirculation and fresh air modes. In summer, using fresh air mode keeps the cabin smelling fresh, but remember to check the cabin air filter every few months to prevent clogging. Also, avoid setting extremely low temperatures right after starting the car—let it adjust naturally to protect the compressor. Overall, the controls are intuitive, and with proper settings, the cooling is even, comfortable, and energy-efficient.
