What should the temp be set to in a car?

The temp in a car should be set between 18°C and 25°C. Here are the specific details about car air conditioning systems: 1. Temp button: The 'temp' in a car refers to temperature, and you can adjust the car's temperature via this button. The temp button is usually located on the car's center console, and in some models, it can also be found near the rear air vents, allowing independent control of the rear air conditioning temperature. Rear independent air conditioning is typically only available in mid-to-high-end models. 2. Air conditioning system structure: The car air conditioning system includes cooling, heating, and ventilation devices. The structure of the air conditioning system is relatively simple, making it easy for the driver to operate. In some mid-to-high-end models, the car uses an automatic air conditioning system, which can adjust the interior temperature automatically with a single button. 3. Manual air conditioning: Lower-end models are equipped with manual air conditioning, which requires adjusting the temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction via control panel buttons. Both adjustment methods work on the same principle, but the automatic air conditioning program is more complex. Automatic air conditioning adjusts the fan speed and temperature based on external sensors to maintain the optimal interior temperature.
I personally care most about the comfort level when driving. In summer, setting the temperature around 22°C feels the most comfortable. If I set the AC to the lowest setting during long trips, my legs feel freezing. In winter, the heater at 20°C is warm enough, and higher temperatures can actually make me drowsy. A key reminder: don’t blast the air directly at your face—it can cause dryness and tearing. If the AC seems weak at a red light? It’s likely due to recirculation mode trapping heat; switching to fresh air mode solves it instantly. Recently, I also learned a cool fact: for every 1°C decrease in temperature, fuel consumption increases by about 5%!
