How to Use the Highlander Air Conditioning System?
2 Answers
Highlander air conditioning usage method: Press the AC button to activate the Toyota Highlander's air conditioning system, and the indicator light on the button will illuminate. The AUTO button on the left indicates automatic control of the air conditioning; pressing it enables automatic temperature regulation. The temperature adjustment knob lowers the temperature when turned to the left and raises it when turned to the right. The Highlander is a vehicle produced by Toyota, a large-sized SUV in the Toyota family, with dimensions of 4795mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1760mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2790mm. The Highlander is equipped with a front MacPherson strut and rear double-wishbone suspension system, EPS electric power steering system, among other features.
Operating the Highlander's AC is quite straightforward. I usually start by pressing the AUTO button to let the system work automatically. The display will immediately show the current temperature setting—I typically set it to 22°C in summer and around 26°C in winter for optimal comfort. For quick cooling, I turn the temperature knob to the lowest setting and press the AC button to activate the compressor, which makes the fan ramp up to maximum speed. The rear seats also have independent vent controls, and I adjust the temperature higher when elderly family members or children are sitting there. Oh, and if the windshield fogs up, don’t panic—just press the defog button, and the system will automatically switch to external circulation and increase airflow to the glass. In AUTO mode, the system intelligently switches between internal and external circulation, so I rarely need to adjust it on highways, and it saves 1-2 MPG compared to manual mode.
