The steps to turn on the air conditioning in an Accord are: Start the car and wait for the engine speed to stabilize, then press the AC button or a button with a snowflake symbol. Next, turn the rotary knob to the blue position to activate the cold air. After that, adjust the blower's airflow to control the intensity of the cold air. The Accord is a model under Honda, with body dimensions of 4930mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, a wheelbase of 2775mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 65L. The Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, while the hybrid version uses the third-generation iMMD hybrid system.
Turning on the A/C in my Accord feels pretty straightforward, especially when driving in scorching weather. First, start the engine to get the car running, then locate the climate control panel near the instrument cluster. Press the A/C button—the indicator light will show the compressor is activated. Rotate the temperature dial to around 18°C or 20°C (lower settings cool faster). Next, crank up the fan speed by turning the blower knob to high for rapid cooling. I usually engage recirculation mode to block hot outside air and accelerate cooling. The whole process takes under 10 seconds—once cold air blows, cabin temperature drops quickly, making long drives super comfortable. Pro tip: Regularly check the cabin air filter to prevent musty odors.
Just started driving the Accord and found the AC incredibly straightforward: After starting the car, simply press the A/C button to turn it on, set the temperature to the lowest value like 18 degrees, and adjust the fan speed to your desired intensity, such as level 4, using the knob or buttons. If you prefer automatic adjustment, press the AUTO button to let the system handle everything. I also adjust the vent direction to avoid direct airflow to the face. If the car is too hot, opening the external circulation for a few minutes to dissipate the heat before switching back to internal circulation works better. Once the AC kicks in, the car cools down instantly, making summer drives comfortable. It's a good habit to maintain the AC system regularly in summer to extend its lifespan.
