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.

As a seasoned instructor who has guided countless trainees, the air conditioning switch positions vary among vehicles in the Subject 2 test center - commonly located either on the left side of the dashboard or prominent spots on the center console. During the exam, full concentration is required as operating AC buttons might interfere with steering or gear shifting. Trainees should memorize this during practice sessions; it's advisable for beginners to first familiarize themselves with control zones to avoid fumbling during tests. Additionally, some test centers prohibit AC usage during exams to prevent noise interference with judgment - always confirm with invigilators beforehand. Simply put, mastering vehicle familiarity is key to success; don't let minor issues sabotage the bigger picture.

I just finished my Subject 2 test. The air conditioning switch is usually located on the center console, with a fan speed knob and temperature adjustment buttons. During the test, I had no mind to touch it at all—once in the car, I had to focus intently on the reversing lines and reference points, afraid that any distraction might cause me to cross the line and fail. During regular practice, my instructor taught me to first locate the positions of these control buttons, but during the exam, prioritizing clutch control is safer. If it's too hot, the examiner might tacitly allow turning on a low fan speed, but the action must be quick without delay. Remember, focus is always the top priority.

I remember when I first practiced for Subject 2, I was even confused about where the air conditioning switch was. In the training car, the switch was located in the small button area on the right side of the steering wheel. The test car is quite similar, with clear icons on the central control panel. During the test, focus all your attention on the movements; don't adjust the air conditioning, as it's easy to forget to brake or signal incorrectly. If the weather affects your mood, take a deep breath in advance and practice operating it several times to familiarize yourself with the actions. The key to passing the test smoothly is not to be distracted by trivial matters—whether to turn it on or not, don't dwell on it.
