Reasons for power decrease when the air conditioner is on: It may not necessarily indicate a vehicle problem. It could simply be due to the car's small displacement. If the vehicle has a very small displacement, power decrease when the air conditioner is on is a normal phenomenon, as the air conditioner consumes some of the car's energy. This situation cannot be resolved. The engine can use 100% of its power to propel the car forward, but when the air conditioner is turned on, the engine can only use 80% of its power to move the car, as the remaining 20% is used by the air conditioner. In this case, the car may feel underpowered. A car air conditioner refers to the air conditioning device installed in the vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

Under what circumstances is the S gear used?

S gear can be used during rainy days and foggy weather as it enhances the vehicle's traction. The following details the S gear: 1. The S gear on motor vehicles is the sport mode, which is typically available in most mid-to-high-end models. 2. When the vehicle is in S gear, the transmission can shift freely, but there is a slight delay during gear changes. This keeps the engine at higher RPMs for an extended period, allowing the car to operate at lower gears with higher RPMs for a prolonged duration, thereby delivering greater torque output and speed acceleration.
