Where is the button to turn on the car air conditioner?

The button to turn on the car air conditioner is located on the center console, marked with an AC symbol. Pressing the AC button will gradually lower the temperature inside the car. The car air conditioning refrigeration system consists of components such as the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower, all connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. The car air conditioner can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing driver fatigue, thereby enhancing driving safety. It generally includes a refrigeration unit, heating unit, and ventilation unit.
Having driven for over a decade, I've noticed that AC buttons are usually installed near the center console for easy access. After starting the engine, you'll find a round or square button labeled "AC" below the instrument cluster or beside the central display – press it to activate the cooling system. With manual AC systems, you need to adjust the fan speed button and temperature knob yourself. I prefer using maximum airflow initially to cool down quickly before lowering it to a comfortable level, which helps save fuel. Many modern vehicles feature automatic systems – just press "AUTO" and set your desired temperature, letting the system regulate airflow. If you can't locate the buttons, refer to the owner's manual since designs vary by model (e.g., SUV buttons may be positioned higher for easier operation while driving). In winter, the AC also helps defog windows, ensuring clear visibility and safety.
