What should you do when turning on the car air conditioner in summer?

When turning on the car air conditioner in summer, first open the windows to let the existing air inside the car escape. Then, switch the air conditioner to recirculation mode to quickly lower the temperature. After some time, switch to fresh air mode to maintain air circulation. When using the air conditioner, position the vents upward because cold air tends to sink. By directing the vents upward, you can take advantage of this principle. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.
When using the car in summer with the air conditioning on, I found that starting the vehicle first, then rolling down the windows for ventilation for two minutes to let the hot air and exhaust gases escape before closing the windows and turning on the AC helps cool down the car quickly and saves fuel. After pressing the AUTO button, the system adjusts automatically. I rotate the temperature knob to a comfortable setting around 24°C, and manually reduce the fan speed if it's too loud to avoid excessive noise. I switch between recirculation and fresh air modes: using recirculation in city traffic cools the car faster, while on the highway, I use fresh air mode to keep the air fresh. I regularly clean the AC filter and replace it every six months to prevent mold and odors. I try not to park in direct sunlight and use sunshades to reduce heat buildup inside the car. These habits ensure a cool and comfortable ride every time, avoiding the risk of heatstroke and significantly improving the overall driving experience.
