How to use the air conditioning in Nissan Qashqai?
2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai air conditioning usage instructions are as follows: 1. Cooling/Heating: Adjust ventilation and fan speed. For cooling, press the "A/C" button (no need for heating), then set the temperature to desired level. 2. Dehumidification/Defogging: Set ventilation mode to front defroster (FRONT), adjust fan speed, and turn on the "A/C" button. Note: For quick defrosting of the windshield exterior, set both temperature and fan speed to maximum. 3. Air conditioning settings: You can set to external circulation mode, adjust ventilation mode, fan speed and temperature.
I often use the air conditioning in my X-Trail. After starting the car, I directly press the AUTO button to activate the automatic mode. The system adjusts automatically based on the cabin temperature, which is hassle-free and convenient. Turning the temperature knob allows me to set the ideal temperature, usually between 22-26°C for optimal comfort. Most of the time, I let the system handle the fan speed automatically, but I can also manually adjust it using the buttons. The central control screen also lets me set the air circulation mode—using recirculation mode in traffic or urban areas to prevent exhaust fumes from entering, and switching to fresh air mode on highways or when the windows are open for ventilation. This is especially useful during weather changes. For example, in summer, I open the windows first to release heat before turning on the AC for cooling, while in winter, I use recirculation mode more often to retain warmth. Remember not to keep recirculation mode on all the time to avoid stuffy air, and replace the cabin air filter regularly to maintain efficiency. While driving, focus on the road and avoid frequent AC adjustments—safety first. These habits make driving more comfortable and efficient.
