How to Turn the Vehicle Air Conditioning On and Off?

Vehicle air conditioning operation method: For most cars, turning the fan speed control to "0" or pressing the AC button will turn off the air conditioning. Additionally, if you want to turn off the cooling function while keeping the fan running, simply turn off the separate cooling switch. In winter, to use the vehicle air conditioning for heating, first adjust the cooling/heating switch to the heating zone, then turn on the fan switch to adjust the wind speed. During heating, the cooling switch must be turned off. The vehicle air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.
When your car's air conditioning won't turn on, I always check if the vehicle is running first—without engine power, the AC won't work. Look for the air conditioning button on the center console, usually marked with a fan or A/C icon, and press it to start. If you need cool air, turn the temperature knob to lower the temperature; for warm air, turn it up. Don't forget to adjust the fan speed button to control the airflow, or it might be too loud or waste power. Operating it while parked is safest to avoid distracting from driving. Regularly cleaning the AC filter can reduce odors, make the switch smoother, save fuel, and extend its lifespan—especially check before long trips to avoid breakdowns midway.
