The reason the car air conditioning pipe feels hot to the touch is because the refrigerant inside has just been compressed by the compressor. Below is additional information about car air conditioning: 1. Determining Air Conditioning Operation: Judging whether the air conditioning system is functioning properly is quite simple. If you notice issues such as poor cooling, low airflow, or no cooling at all, it is necessary to check whether each component is operating normally and whether there is a lack of refrigerant. 2. Maintenance of the Car Air Conditioning System: (1) During summer, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is significant. When entering the car, it is not advisable to immediately set the air conditioning temperature too low. First, use high airflow natural wind to disperse the hot air inside the cabin. Then, do not close all the windows completely. Turn on the air conditioning and wait for the body to gradually adapt before adjusting the air conditioning to the desired temperature and closing the windows. This way, the body will not experience discomfort due to a sudden drop in external temperature. (2) The temperature of the air conditioning is not the lower the better. The most comfortable temperature for the human body is around 23 degrees Celsius. On sunny summer afternoons, the air conditioning should not be set too low. This can both resist the summer heat and ensure that the ambient temperature around the body is not too low, thereby preventing "air conditioning sickness" and also responding to the national call for energy conservation, emission reduction, and low-carbon environmental protection. (3) When the air conditioning is on, passengers are advised not to smoke in the car. Since the air inside the car circulates in a relatively enclosed environment when the air conditioning is on, firstly, the smoke is not easy to disperse, and secondly, tiny particles in the smoke will adhere to the air conditioning intake filter, causing long-lasting odors in the car.

What does HDC on a car mean?

HDC on a car refers to the Hill Descent Control system. When a car is descending a steep slope, it can automatically apply the brakes, making the downhill process safer. The Hill Descent Control system enhances the car's controllability on steep slopes by applying brief braking force to the front axle to compensate for engine braking. Points to note when using HDC: 1. The HDC system must be set up before use to ensure the driver can focus on driving. After setting up the HDC system, the driver should release all pedals to avoid interfering with the system's operation; 2. When using the HDC system to descend a slope, the driver does not need to press any pedals. The car will automatically travel at a speed of about 8 km/h. During automatic driving, the driver only needs to steer the wheel.
