How to Use Car Air Conditioning?
2 Answers
Simply increase the temperature and adjust the airflow accordingly. First, press the AC button, then lower the temperature, and finally select the appropriate airflow. The principle of car air conditioning is very simple. When cooling, after pressing the AC button, the compressor clutch engages, and the engine drives the compressor to operate.
I remember when I first started driving, I was quite confused about operating the air conditioning. Later, I figured out a set of practical methods. First, don't turn on the AC immediately after starting the car; wait a minute or two for the engine to run more stably. Then press the A/C button—that's the cooling switch, essential in hot summers. Turn the temperature knob left for cool air and right for warm air; I usually set it around 22°C for comfort. You can control the fan speed yourself—pressing the higher button cools faster but is noisy, while medium speed is ideal for daily use. There's also the airflow mode button to choose between blowing at the head, feet, or windshield. I prefer a combination of head and feet to avoid direct drafts that cause headaches. In summer, open the windows first for ventilation before switching to recirculation mode—it cools faster and saves fuel. In winter, wait for the engine to warm up before turning up the heat. Don't forget to check and replace the filter annually to prevent odors. Before parking, turn off the A/C and let the fan dry the pipes to prevent mold growth. Overall, it's simple and easy to use, and relying on auto functions makes it even more effortless.
