How to use the air conditioning in a Baojun 310 manual transmission?

First, you need to depress the brake pedal and start the engine. Then turn the key to the ST position to start the engine until the idle speed stabilizes. Turn the fan speed knob to the far right for maximum airflow. Rotate the temperature mode knob to the left to activate the cooling mode. Press the A/C switch to turn on the compressor. Press the recirculation button to activate the interior air recirculation mode.
After driving for over ten years, I've found that manual air conditioning is actually easier to use. The Baojun 310's AC has just three knobs! The left knob adjusts the temperature—blue for cold and red for warm—I usually set it slightly towards the cold side. The middle knob controls the fan speed with four adjustable levels. The right knob manages the vent mode; for direct airflow, just turn it to the first icon. In summer, remember to press the small snowflake button for AC, while in winter, simply turn to the red zone without touching AC. If the windshield fogs up, switch to the defrost mode and max out the fan speed for instant results. On highways, use external circulation for better airflow; in city traffic, switch to internal circulation for fresher air. Lastly, a tip: before turning off the AC in winter, shut off the AC first and let natural air blow for five minutes to prevent mold in the pipes.
