How to Use the Air Conditioning Cooling in BMW 3 Series?
2 Answers
The BMW 3 Series comes standard with automatic air conditioning, and the control buttons are located on the center console panel. The AUTO temperature adjustment button allows you to set the temperature to a comfortable level. The temperature for the car's air conditioning cooling should not be set below 25 degrees Celsius.
I often use the air conditioning to cool down in my BMW 3 Series, and the process is quite straightforward. After starting the engine, locate the air conditioning area on the center control panel and press the AUTO button. It will automatically adjust the cooling based on the interior and set temperature. If you feel it's not cold enough, simply turn the temperature knob toward the blue side to lower the temperature—setting it around 22 degrees is usually ideal. Adjust the fan speed with the airflow knob; in summer, you can increase the airflow on the highway for faster cooling. It's recommended to activate the recirculation mode first by pressing the interior air circulation button to speed up cooling, then switch to fresh air mode once the cabin cools down to avoid stuffiness. Remember to check and replace the cabin air filter every quarter to maintain cooling efficiency. The operation isn't complicated—BMW's design is very user-friendly, and the car cools down within minutes.
