What does TEMP mean in car air conditioning?

Car air conditioning TEMP represents temperature. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Brief introduction: temp is the abbreviation of temperature, meaning temperature, and is the button for adjusting the heating and cooling temperature of the air conditioner. 2. Air conditioning: Air conditioner (Air-Conditioner), that is, an air conditioning device, refers to equipment that artificially adjusts and controls parameters such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and air flow in the environment of buildings/structures. Most of them use refrigerant to evaporate or condense under the action of a compressor, thereby causing the surrounding air to evaporate or condense to achieve the purpose of changing temperature and humidity.
The 'temp' on the car air conditioner is actually short for temperature. I've been setting it this way for over a decade of driving—it's the core control for adjusting the interior's warmth or coolness. In winter, to quickly defog, just turn the knob toward the red zone. After a summer scorcher, blasting the AC to the lowest temperature in the blue zone feels amazing. Back when I first got the car, I didn’t know better—I cranked the temperature to max and complained about weak cooling, only to find the windshield vents blocked by a drink bottle. Beyond knob controls, many newer cars display precise 0.5°C increments on the touchscreen, though I rarely need that level of accuracy. Temperature settings should factor in weather forecasts; staying 5-8°C below outdoor temps ensures comfort and avoids post-exit chills. On long drives, I start cooler for alertness, then gradually warm up to prevent drowsiness.
