Where is the air conditioning switch located in the older model GL8?

The air conditioning switch in the older model GL8 is located on the right side below the steering wheel. The car's air conditioning system primarily has three basic adjustment buttons: air volume, temperature, and airflow direction. Here are the details: 1. Air volume button: Also known as the fan speed button, it features a small 'fan' icon. You can rotate the button to select the desired air volume. 2. Temperature button: Typically displayed as a 'thermometer' or marked with red and blue colors on both sides. Rotating the knob towards the red area gradually increases the temperature, while the blue area does the opposite, gradually decreasing the temperature. 3. Airflow direction adjustment: This can be either button-operated or knob-operated, and it is more visually intuitive. It is represented by an icon of a 'seated person with airflow arrows,' allowing you to choose between directing air to the head, head and feet, feet, feet and windshield, or solely the windshield. Most vehicles follow this general setup for airflow direction adjustment, with only a few having minor differences.
After years of driving, I find the air conditioning switch position in the older GL8 models quite intuitive—it's located on the center console panel to the right of the driver's seat. There are several round buttons there, with one marked by a fan symbol or 'A/C' indicating the AC switch. A light press turns it on (indicated by the light), and pressing it again turns it off. Be careful not to confuse it with the adjacent knobs for temperature and airflow adjustment. Older car buttons tend to accumulate dust, leading to unresponsiveness; wiping the surface with a damp cloth or checking for loose connections can restore smoother operation. Positioned slightly lower in the center, it's easily reachable without needing to look down while driving, enhancing safety. Driving long distances in summer without AC is miserable—if the switch fails, promptly visit a repair shop to check the wiring to prevent bigger issues.
