Is the AC button on or off when lit?

AC light on indicates the system is active. Here is relevant information: 1. The AC button controls the air conditioning compressor. During summer usage, the AC button must be activated (with light illuminated) to enable cooling; The cooling function operates by compressing refrigerant into liquid then vaporizing it to absorb heat from the air; When active, the compressor pulley engages, increasing engine load and fuel consumption. 2. AC stands for Air-conditioning - the climate control system that regulates cabin temperature, humidity, air purity and circulation to optimal levels, ensuring passenger comfort and reduced travel fatigue while providing drivers with better working conditions. This ventilation system plays a vital role in safe driving.
I've been driving for many years, and regarding the AC button, when it's lit it means the air conditioning is on, and when it's off, the AC is off. This is especially crucial in summer—when the light is on, cool air blows out rapidly, cooling and dehumidifying the cabin. Once on a long trip, the weather was scorching, and the AC button stayed lit to keep the interior comfortable, preventing me from fatigued driving; turning it off would leave only natural airflow. I recommend paying attention to the button display during daily driving to avoid accidental operations that could affect comfort. Occasionally check the AC system, such as whether the refrigerant level is sufficient, to ensure the button responds promptly—otherwise, summer could be miserable.
As a beginner driver, I recently figured out how the AC button works. The illuminated light indicates the air conditioning is on, while the unlit state means it's turned off. This button is usually located on the control panel and can be toggled with a single press. I've discovered that turning on the AC (with the light on) during rainy days effectively defogs the windows, improving visibility and safety; pairing it with the AUTO button automatically adjusts the fan speed. Don't underestimate this knowledge—mastering it makes driving much more comfortable.
As an enthusiast who frequently tinkers with car components, when the AC button is lit, it indicates the circuit is connected and the air conditioning compressor is activated for cooling and dehumidifying; when the light is off, it means the circuit is disconnected. This is related to voltage stability—if there's a wiring issue, the light may not illuminate. In daily use, ensuring the button functions properly can extend the system's lifespan. It's recommended to regularly clean the air conditioning filter to prevent dust buildup from affecting performance.
