Automatic transmission vehicle parking with air conditioning correct method is: 1. Turn on the AC switch; 2. Adjust the air vent selection knob, when turning on the cold air, the air vent blows upward, when turning on the warm air, the air vent blows downward; 3. Adjust the fan speed switch; 4. Adjust the air recirculation conversion knob; 5. Adjust the temperature control knob. The functions of the air conditioning are: 1. Drawing fresh air from outside into the vehicle for ventilation and air exchange, preventing window fogging; 2. Removing dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the air inside the car, making the air inside the car fresh, humidifying the air inside the car, and increasing the relative humidity of the air inside the car.

When parking an automatic car to enjoy the air conditioning, I usually follow these steps: first, firmly press the brake and shift to Neutral (N), then engage the electronic parking brake, and finally turn on the AC. This prevents the car from rocking back and forth and is gentle on the transmission. If waiting for someone for an extended period, it's advisable to start the car and let it run for a few minutes every half hour to avoid draining the battery. Once, I fell asleep at a service area and couldn't start the car after two hours—calling for roadside assistance cost me over 500 yuan. A crucial reminder: never leave the AC on while in Park (P) mode, as the transmission's locking mechanism can't withstand a rear-end collision, and repairs can be painfully expensive.

I usually shift to neutral first and then pull the handbrake when parking. After the handbrake light on the dashboard comes on, I directly press the AUTO button to turn on the AC. Setting the temperature not too low, around 23°C, is the most fuel-efficient. Pay attention to whether there is fog on the AC vents—fogging indicates high humidity inside the car, so you need to turn on the external circulation for ventilation. Last week, my husband parked the car under a tree for three hours with the AC on, and as a result, the condenser was clogged with willow catkins, and the AC stopped cooling. So now, I always park in a shaded concrete area, which both protects the radiator and saves some fuel.

What to Do When Your Vehicle Is Blocked and the Other Owner Didn't Leave a Contact Number?

Here are the solutions when your vehicle is blocked and the other owner didn't leave a contact number: 1. Call 122: Inform the operator that your car is blocked and you need the other owner to move their vehicle. Provide the operator with detailed location and vehicle information, such as the license plate number, color, and model. 122 will then call the other owner to request them to move their car. 2. Call 114: After providing the license plate number and location of the vehicle that needs to be moved to the operator, 114 will transfer the call to the owner. However, this method has a prerequisite: the other owner must have previously registered their phone number and license plate number with China Unicom. If there is no such registration, 114 won't be able to transfer the call for moving the vehicle.

What Functions Does a Car Remote Key Have?

Here is a detailed introduction to the functions of a car remote key: 1. Close windows after turning off the engine: Press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. This feature may also be available on ordinary family cars. 2. Locate the car in a parking lot: Some car keys have a dedicated car-finding button, while others require pressing the lock button twice in succession to make the car emit a beep, indicating its location, which helps quickly find the car in crowded parking areas. 3. Automatically open the trunk: Many car models have a trunk-opening button on the remote key. Press and hold the trunk unlock button to automatically open the trunk. 4. Keyless entry: You need to carry the car key, which will automatically match the car's decoder when it is near the car. Press the unlock button on the car door handle to unlock the car.

What is the Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars?

The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" is a national standard of the People's Republic of China implemented on January 1, 2016, under the jurisdiction of the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee. The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" specifies the fuel consumption limits for passenger cars. Here is additional information: 1. The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" applies to M1 category vehicles that can use gasoline or diesel fuel with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3500kg; it does not apply to vehicles that only use gas or alcohol-ether fuels. 2. The revision of the "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" is conducive to further tightening the fuel consumption limits for passenger cars, raising the minimum market entry requirements for passenger car products, and ensuring the achievement of the 5L/100km energy-saving target by 2020.

What are the consequences of not replacing car spark plugs for a long time?

Car spark plugs not being replaced for a long time can lead to the following consequences: 1. Difficulty in ignition, prone to stalling, insufficient power, weak acceleration, increased carbon deposits formation, manifested as lack of vehicle power, slow acceleration when stepping on the gas, and a missing gear in power; 2. Misfire causing cylinder non-operation or cylinder misfire, manifested as engine shaking, engine fault light turning on, and upon careful listening, the exhaust pipe sound is discontinuous with a popping noise; 3. Incomplete combustion leading to unqualified exhaust emissions, causing environmental pollution. Types of spark plugs include: 1. Standard spark plugs; 2. Projected insulator spark plugs; 3. Electrode spark plugs; 4. Seat spark plugs; 5. Pole spark plugs; 6. Surface gap spark plugs.

What Causes High Water Temperature in Small Cars?

The reasons for high water temperature in small cars are: 1. Coolant leakage or insufficient coolant; 2. Faulty cooling fan; 3. Malfunctioning circulation water pump; 4. Thermostat failure; 5. Poor radiator heat dissipation. Effects of high water temperature: 1. Accelerated wear and poor lubrication; 2. Engine damage due to issues like piston ring scuffing; 3. High water temperature can cause radiator rupture; 4. May lead to deformation and damage of cylinder heads and cylinder blocks. Solutions for high water temperature: 1. When the vehicle experiences radiator boiling, promptly pull over to a safe area, keep the engine idling for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the engine and open the hood for cooling after the situation eases; 2. After the engine cools, open the radiator cap, replenish the coolant, and have the vehicle inspected to resolve the issue.

Why Does the Fan Keep Running After Locking the Car?

1. Whether the water temperature meets the requirement: Most car radiator fans nowadays operate using electronic temperature control, so the fan usually starts running normally only when the internal water temperature reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan won't turn. Therefore, if the car radiator fan is not working, the first thing to check is whether the water temperature meets the requirement. 2. Relay malfunction: If the water temperature is appropriate but the car radiator fan still doesn't work, the issue might lie with the fan's relay. A faulty relay can prevent the radiator fan from operating. 3. Temperature control switch problem: If the above two aspects are not the issue, then it's necessary to check the temperature control switch. Sometimes, faults can occur here, which can also affect the operation of the car radiator fan, so this should also be checked carefully.
