To activate the cooling function of the Q5 air conditioner, press the AC button and then select the appropriate fan speed and temperature. If you want to use the heating function, there's no need to press the AC button; simply increase the temperature and choose the suitable fan speed. The heating principle of the air conditioner is quite straightforward. During heating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core, and the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing warm air to be emitted from the air vents. The Q5 is a dynamic and versatile SUV with dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2807mm. The Q5 features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of five-link independent suspension and a rear suspension type of trapezoidal-link independent suspension.

As a seasoned Q5 driver, I find turning on the AC very straightforward. After starting the vehicle, simply press the AUTO button on the center console—it automatically adjusts temperature and fan speed. If you want to tweak the temperature, just rotate the temperature knob. My tip: if the car feels stuffy before getting in, roll down the windows for a few minutes to ventilate before closing them and switching on the AC—it works better. I also make it a habit to check the cabin air filter, replacing it yearly to prevent odors. Remember, daily use requires attention to recirculation modes: use internal circulation during smoggy days and external when the air is clean—this saves energy and keeps things healthy. These little tricks make driving much more pleasant.

What are the methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer?

Methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer include using the air conditioning system to remove fog, opening windows for air drying, applying soapy water, and using defogging agents. The reason for fogging on car windows is due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle in the current environment. Methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer: Use the air conditioning system to remove fog. This method can be used in both winter and summer. Turn on the internal and external air circulation to allow sufficient airflow, which speeds up the evaporation of fog. This can also quickly remove moisture from the windows. Additionally, periodically switching the air circulation helps purify the air inside the car, making the ride more comfortable. Open windows for air drying. When the fog is not severe, you can slightly open both windows to allow air convection, which eliminates the temperature difference on both sides of the windshield, making it difficult for fog to form. Apply soapy water. You can apply soapy water to the inside and outside of the front windows, then use the wipers to wipe once or twice. The soapy water on the inside of the front windows can be gently wiped with a tissue until it is semi-dry. Once the soapy water is completely dry, the front windows will not fog up. Use defogging agents. The principle of defogging agents is simple: spraying a layer on the windshield forms a protective film that prevents the condensation of fog. However, the effectiveness of this protective film is short-lived, requiring repeated applications to maintain the effect.

What happens when a car's throttle position sensor fails?

Here are the symptoms of a damaged throttle position sensor: 1. Poor idle contact: No idle signal, resulting in no idle or unstable idle speed. 2. Poor no-load contact: No full-load signal input, leading to no high speed or difficulty in acceleration. Below is extended information about the causes of throttle position sensor failure: 1. Terminal corrosion: Poor contact, low voltage or no conduction, causing the engine to stall easily or have difficulty starting. 2. Initial position misalignment: Output voltage too high or too low, resulting in unstable idle speed, either too high or too low. 3. Coating failure: Resistance change causes output voltage deviation, leading to jerky starts and poor acceleration. 4. Excessive carbon buildup at the throttle: Incomplete closure affects output voltage and flow values, causing inaccurate air-fuel ratio and unstable idle speed.
