The three round adjustment knobs on the ashtray are the air conditioning switches for the Buick GL8. Introduction to Buick: An international premium automotive brand, adhering to the philosophy of "Quiet Mind, Far-reaching Thoughts, Intelligent Journey," integrates globally leading technology to deliver a safe, quiet, and intelligent driving experience. Introduction to Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin to an optimal state. It provides a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates favorable working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. It generally includes cooling devices, heating devices, and ventilation systems. This integrated system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.
On the Buick GL8, the air conditioning switch is usually located in the middle section of the center console, which you can spot right after getting in the car. That area has several buttons and knobs, with the AC control button typically featuring a snowflake icon or labeled 'A/C.' When driving this model, I usually press the AUTO button right after starting the engine, and the system automatically adjusts the fan speed and cooling intensity based on the set temperature. Rotating the nearby temperature knob lets you fine-tune it—for example, I set it around 22°C in summer. The fan speed adjusts automatically as needed, but you can also manually tweak it using the fan speed buttons. Some GL8 variants come with a touchscreen infotainment system, where you can select circulation modes like recirculation (to block outside dust) or fresh air mode for ventilation, which is quite handy. For daily use, keep the buttons clean and dust-free to prevent sticky operation. If the AC doesn’t kick in, check whether the cooling mode is enabled in the system settings.
