Where is the air conditioning switch for Subject Two?

Press the A/C button on the car panel to turn it on. Turn on the fan switch, twist the temperature control knob to the blue side for cold air, adjust the fan speed, and set the temperature. Twist the temperature control knob to the red side and turn on the fan switch for hot air. However, it is not recommended to use the air conditioning in a training car for three reasons: 1. Using the air conditioning in low gear directly affects power: During the Subject Two test, it mainly relies on controlling the clutch and brake to complete each test accurately and stably at low speeds. When the car is in low gear, the engine's output power is relatively low. 2. Practicing with the air conditioning on: The habit of controlling the clutch will be affected. 3. Using the air conditioning in low gear or at idle speed: It will cause incomplete combustion of gasoline and increase the concentration of carbon monoxide.
When I was learning to drive, the location of the air conditioning switch varied by car model during the driving test (Subject 2), but it was usually found below the steering wheel on the driver's side—some cars had a knob, while others had a button marked with a fan icon. The test vehicles were uniformly equipped, and for safety and to avoid distractions, instructors emphasized familiarizing yourself with the switch's location during practice to prevent last-minute scrambling. If you couldn’t find it, staying calm was key—examiners might sometimes give a hint or allow you to focus on driving without the AC. Especially during maneuvers like reverse parking, turning your head to search for the switch could lead to mistakes. So, I recommend asking about the car’s details during pre-test simulations and getting familiar with the console layout. In hot weather, try to use the AC sparingly to stay alert—after all, the focus of Subject 2 is precise and steady operation.
