The temperature control switch in the Nissan Sylphy is located in the central control area, marked with an AC symbol. The Nissan Sylphy is a compact model launched by Nissan, with an exterior body length of 4631mm, width of 1760mm, height of 1503mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Nissan Sylphy is equipped with a dual CVTC (Continuous Variable Valve Timing) engine and a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm. It features a front track of 1540mm and a rear track of 1540mm, configured as a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I recently helped a friend deal with an air conditioning issue in their Nissan Sylphy. The temperature control switch is located right in the middle of the center console. On the AC panel, there are two large knobs - the one on the right with the temperature symbol is what you need. Turn it clockwise to increase temperature and counterclockwise to decrease it. I'd recommend not turning it directly to the highest or lowest setting; start with a middle value to let the AC system stabilize first. If you can't locate it, check the diagram in Chapter 12 of the user manual. The panel is well-designed so you can feel the knobs without looking down while driving. Just be careful not to spill drinks on it - liquid seepage can cause poor contact and may require replacing the entire control module.

After driving a Sylphy for five years, I can find the temperature control switch with my eyes closed. It's the silver knob in the air conditioning control area below the dashboard, marked with a small thermometer icon. On hot days, remember to turn on the external circulation first before switching to internal circulation for faster cooling. During the last maintenance, the technician said this spot is most prone to dust accumulation and advised me to clean the knob gaps with a soft brush every month. The new models integrate the temperature display into the instrument panel, while the older ones rely on feel. Once, my knob got stuck, and upon opening it, I found the spring inside was misaligned—fixed it myself with tweezers.

The temperature control switch of the Sylphy is located on the right knob of the air conditioning panel, which can be easily reached by naturally lowering your right hand while driving. Its thoughtful design places it in the most accessible position for the driver. A bit of force is needed to rotate it, accompanied by a clicking sound as it shifts between settings. In summer, it's recommended to open the windows for ventilation before lowering the temperature to avoid overloading the compressor. If the knob becomes completely immovable, it might be due to a seized shaft, requiring disassembly for lubrication. The knob is made of highly wear-resistant material, and after three years of use, mine still turns smoothly.
