Refine's fan rr is the switch for the rear heater. When the air conditioning thermostat is turned on and the weather is not too cold, be careful not to turn on the air conditioning switch, as the residual heat from the car engine is sufficient for heating. For the front row, simply turn the knob directly to the right. For the rear row, it's the third button with a snowflake symbol in the row of fog light switches. For the front row without pressing the snowflake button, turn the knob to the red zone. For the rear heater, press the button with a fan icon and the letters rr below the steering wheel. The new Refine S3 has a rounded and compact design, with particularly noticeable changes at the front. The body dimensions are 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm.

I've also encountered the term 'fan rr' mentioned about Refine before when repairing cars. Actually, it's mostly because car owners mix up the terminology. The correct term should be 'fan relay'. This component controls whether the cooling fan operates or not, with two speed settings: low and high. It's installed in the black box near the radiator at the front of the car. If the relay fails, the temperature gauge on the dashboard will immediately spike, and in severe cases, it can even cause engine damage. Last week, I worked on an old Refine where the fan wouldn't operate due to burnt contact points in the relay, and replacing it solved the issue. During regular , remember to ask the mechanic to test the relay's resistance value. If it exceeds 20 ohms, it should be replaced. If you notice any cooling system abnormalities, pull over immediately and don't push your luck.

The 'rr' in the fan designation likely refers to the relay number in the circuit diagram. For Refine models, FL and FH commonly correspond to the high and low-speed relays respectively. Over the years running my repair shop, I've found that relay failures account for 60% of cooling system issues. Contact oxidation can cause intermittent fan operation. A classic case I encountered: during summer traffic congestion, the coolant temperature warning light suddenly illuminated—turned out to be a stuck low-speed relay. This component is hidden in the rear row of the fuse box; DIY replacement requires disconnecting the negative terminal first. When testing coil continuity with a multimeter, note that resistance fluctuation exceeding 5% generally indicates failure. The critical point is this $20-30 part can prevent thousands in engine repair costs when it fails.

In the Refine owners' group, people often ask what 'fan rr' means. It's actually the abbreviation for the fan control relay. In the engine compartment fuse box, 'FL' controls low speed while 'FH' manages high speed, producing a clicking sound during operation. My car once broke down due to overheating because the relay was burnt out - the symptom was the fan refusing to spin while the coolant temperature skyrocketed. Checking it is simple: remove the relay and shake it to listen for broken parts inside, or measure the resistance between pins 85-86 which should be below 10Ω. As a temporary fix, you can bridge pins 30-87 to force the fan to run, but this harms the circuit, so visit a repair shop ASAP. The safest approach is regularly cleaning oxide buildup from the relay connector.

Speaking of the fan relay, it's common practice in the auto repair circle to abbreviate relay as RR. The design of the Refine is quite interesting: the fan starts low-speed rotation at 87°C and switches to high-speed when exceeding 92°C. Last time while helping a neighbor with diagnostics, I found the relay socket was burnt black causing poor contact, making the fan speed fluctuate erratically. It's recommended to unplug and clean the relay every 20,000 km to remove oxidation - it's located in the second row of the engine bay's right-side fuse box. If the fan completely fails, immediately turn off the AC, switch to recirculation mode, reduce speed, and turn on the heater to assist cooling. Once I saw someone push on for 3 kilometers, which resulted in blowing the cylinder head gasket.

The RR you're asking about is likely the relay code, commonly found in the black square box near the Jianghuai Refine's engine control unit. This component controls the cooling system's lifeline. When it fails, there are two typical symptoms: if the low-speed mode fails, the engine overheats in traffic jams; if the high-speed mode malfunctions, the temperature inevitably rises when climbing hills. I once encountered this issue during a road trip, with the fan intermittently turning on and off. A temporary fix is tapping the relay casing a couple of times, but that's just a band-aid solution. For a new part, the Hella brand is the most reliable, and applying some conductive grease during installation helps prevent oxidation. Remember, if the fan stops, you can drive for a maximum of three more minutes—any longer, and the pistons might weld to the cylinder walls.
