How to Turn On the Q5 Air Conditioner?
2 Answers
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.
