How to use a car air conditioner: 1. Turn on the AC switch; 2. Adjust the air vent selection knob - direct the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating; 3. Adjust the fan speed switch - at low vehicle speeds, set the fan to low speed to avoid insufficient power generation and cooling; 4. Adjust the air recirculation switch - when first entering the car, open windows for ventilation and use external circulation to expel hot air, then switch to internal circulation after the cabin temperature drops; 5. Adjust the temperature control knob. A car air conditioner is an air conditioning device installed in vehicles that can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

Using the car air conditioner is actually quite simple. After starting the vehicle, just press the AC button to activate cooling, then rotate the temperature knob to adjust to your desired warm or cool air setting. In summer, it's best to open the windows first to let out the hot air before turning on the AC, and setting the temperature around 22°C is the most fuel-efficient. Pointing the air vents upward helps distribute the cool air evenly. In winter, remember to turn off the AC and use the engine's heat for more efficient warming. If the windshield fogs up, immediately press the defrost button, which has a fan-shaped icon. Switch between recirculation and fresh air modes flexibly—use recirculation in traffic to avoid exhaust fumes and fresh air on highways to maintain airflow. Turn off the AC two to three minutes before shutting down the engine to let natural air dry the ducts, preventing mold and odors for a comfortable and healthy car interior.

What is SAE in Chinese?

SAE is the abbreviation for the English term "Society of Automotive Engineers." Below is an introduction to SAE grades: You may notice markings like SAE40, SAE50, or SAE15W-40, SAE5W-40 on oil cans, which represent the viscosity grades set by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The "W" stands for winter-grade oil, and the smaller the number before it, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in. The number after the hyphen represents the non-winter grade, and the larger the number, the higher the ambient temperature it can withstand. Oils like SAE40 or SAE50, which have only one set of numbers, are single-grade oils and cannot be used in cold winters. Oils like SAE15W-40 or SAE5W-40, which have two sets of numbers, indicate that they are advanced "multi-grade oils" suitable for a wide range of temperatures, from low to high. Their viscosity values change with temperature to provide comprehensive protection for the engine.
