Why does the Hongqi HS5 air conditioning turn on automatically?
2 Answers
Hongqi HS5 air conditioning turns on automatically because: the Hongqi HS5 is equipped with an automatic air conditioning function, and the automatic air conditioning function is activated. The automatic air conditioning system, abbreviated as the car's fully automatic air conditioning system, mainly consists of an air conditioning refrigeration system, a heating and ventilation system, and an automatic control system. The dimensions of the Hongqi HS5 are: length 4760 mm, width 1907 mm, height 1700 mm, with a wheelbase of 2870 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 64 liters. The Hongqi HS5 is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 340 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. It adopts a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS5 for a while and previously encountered the strange phenomenon of the air conditioning turning on automatically. At first, I thought it was some kind of malfunction, but later realized it might be a setting issue. The automatic air conditioning feature of the Hongqi HS5 is quite intelligent—it activates based on readings from the in-car temperature sensor. If the sensor malfunctions, perhaps due to being covered in dust or aging, it might misjudge the temperature as too high or too low and turn on by itself. From my experience, if the car is parked under the sun for too long and the interior temperature soars, the air conditioning might automatically start as a protective measure. Additionally, the software could glitch, especially after a system update that wasn't properly rebooted, or if the remote key is pressed randomly, triggering the auto mode. The solution is to first check the settings on the central control screen and try turning off the automatic function. If that doesn't work, a visit to the 4S store for diagnostics is necessary—don't delay too long to avoid affecting the battery life. Regular cleaning of the sensor is key to prevention.
