Where is the air conditioning in a sedan and how to turn it on?

Small car air conditioning is generally located in the middle-lower part of the center console, with the A/C button serving as the air conditioning switch. The first knob above is for temperature adjustment. The second knob controls the air conditioning fan speed, turning to 0 to turn it off. The third knob adjusts the air outlet direction, which can be directed to the head, hands, or feet. Additional information: Automotive air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin, providing passengers with a comfortable environment, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators for evaluating whether a car is fully equipped with necessary functions.
When I first bought my car, I couldn't even figure out where to turn on the AC. Now I'm much more familiar with it. In sedans, the AC control panel is usually located on the center console, just to the right of the steering wheel, featuring temperature adjustment knobs, an AC button, and a fan switch. After starting the car, simply press the AC button—when the light turns on, it means the AC is activated. For models with automatic climate control, just press the AUTO button, and it will automatically adjust the fan speed based on the cabin temperature. I usually wait a few seconds after starting the engine before turning on the AC to protect the compressor. On hot summer days, I switch to recirculation mode for faster cooling, while in winter, I increase the temperature to defog. Remember to turn off the AC before shutting down the engine to avoid overloading it during the next startup. Regularly checking the cabin air filter is also crucial—a dirty filter means poor air quality, and health comes first. Over time, you can also recharge the refrigerant for maintenance to extend its lifespan.
