Car air conditioning AC is the cooling switch for the air conditioning system. Pressing the AC button will gradually lower the temperature inside the car. The functions of the car air conditioning system are: 1. Utilizing the continuous cycle of refrigerant to achieve a cooling effect; 2. Drawing in fresh air from outside for ventilation and air exchange, preventing window fogging; 3. Using engine coolant, waste heat, or heat generated by a burner as a heating source, which is then warmed by the heater and blown into the car by the blower to raise the temperature and achieve a heating effect. Maintenance methods for car air conditioning: 1. Clean the air conditioning vents promptly; 2. Maintain the air conditioning condenser in a timely manner; 3. Clean or replace the air conditioning filter element as needed.

What are the reasons why the X-Trail's AC only blows air but doesn't cool?

Below are the reasons why the X-Trail's AC only blows air but doesn't cool: Incorrect mode: If the fan starts but the main unit doesn't, check whether the remote control is set to cooling mode, and adjust it to cooling if necessary. Insufficient refrigerant: If both the fan and main unit start, check whether the refrigerant is effective. If not, add refrigerant, but before doing so, check for any refrigerant leaks and repair them if found. Compressor malfunction: Check whether the compressor starts. If not, seek professional help. Loose compressor belt: If the AC compressor drive belt is too loose, tighten it appropriately. If the belt can't be turned by hand, it's too tight and should be loosened slightly. Of course, if tightening doesn't work or the belt shows cracks, aging, or other damage, replace it with a new one.
