How to Use the Car Air Conditioner in Summer?

First, open the windows to allow the original air inside the car to escape. Then, turn on the air conditioner and set it to recirculation mode to quickly lower the temperature. After some time, switch to fresh air mode to maintain airflow. Regarding the four functions of modern car air conditioners, they are as follows: 1. The air conditioner can control the temperature inside the car: it can both heat and cool the air to maintain a comfortable level of temperature inside the car; 2. The air conditioner can remove moisture from the air: it dries the air and absorbs human sweat to create a more comfortable environment; 3. The air conditioner can intake fresh air: it has a ventilation function; 4. The air conditioner can filter the air: it removes dust and pollen from the air.
When using the air conditioning in summer, there are some techniques to follow. Every time I start the car, I first press the AUTO button to let the system automatically adjust the temperature. The system regulates the cooling based on the temperature difference inside and outside the car, and I usually set it around 24°C for comfort. The fan speed adjusts automatically, but if needed, I manually lower or increase it to avoid excessive noise. Additionally, it's important to flexibly switch between recirculation and fresh air modes: use recirculation initially to cool the car quickly, then switch to fresh air after a few minutes to allow air circulation and prevent stuffiness. On extremely hot days, I also open the windows briefly to ventilate before closing them and turning on the AC, which helps save fuel. Remember to check the cabin air filter regularly and replace it annually to ensure good air quality and prevent bacterial growth that could affect health. If the AC cools slowly after prolonged use, it might be due to a clogged filter or insufficient refrigerant, so a visit to the shop is necessary. Safety comes first—don’t overlook these small details.
