How to Use Volvo Parking Air Conditioning Control
2 Answers
Introduction to the usage of Volvo parking air conditioning control: 1. Open windows first after exposure to cool down faster: Before getting into the car, open all windows or doors to let the hot air out. After a while, when the hot air has dissipated, close the windows. You will find the air conditioning much more effective. 2. Alternate between internal and external circulation when using the air conditioning: The air conditioning usually has an internal and external circulation switch. When using external circulation, the air conditioning draws air from outside the car, while internal circulation reuses the air inside the car. Internal circulation can improve the air conditioning effect, while external circulation allows a moderate amount of outside air to enter, improving air quality and enhancing the air conditioning effect. When using the air conditioning to defrost or defog, external circulation must be used for it to be effective. 3. Turn off the air conditioning before shutting off the fan when parking: Before parking, turn off the air conditioning first and let the fan continue running to dry the pipes and reduce the chance of mold growth.
Volvo's parking air conditioning is actually quite hassle-free to use. Last time I went camping, I relied entirely on it. You can find the air conditioning icon at the bottom of the car's infotainment screen, and tapping it will take you to the dedicated parking air conditioning interface. Once activated, the system automatically adjusts based on the battery level, and it can last two to three hours on a full charge. Remember to lock the doors and close the windows before turning it on, and in the summer, don’t forget to pull up the windshield sunshade. Using the app to remotely start it is even better—for example, turning it on ten minutes before heading to the supermarket means returning to a car as cool as a freezer. By the way, for hybrid models, the engine will automatically recharge when the battery is low, but be careful not to use this feature in an enclosed garage.
