The reason for the hot air is that the vehicle is in the external circulation mode. When the car's air conditioning system is set to external circulation, outside air enters the cabin with the airflow during driving, creating natural ventilation. Below are some common issues with car air conditioning: 1. The air conditioning is set to heating but the warm air is not hot: If the engine coolant temperature is normal (low engine coolant temperature will definitely result in no warm air), this could be due to issues like coolant circulation failure, damaged water pump impeller, or clogged air filter. 2. Different temperatures on both sides of the air conditioning: This might be caused by incorrect settings in the dual-zone air conditioning. 3. Warm air with a burnt smell: Possible causes include aging air conditioning wiring, excessively high air conditioning temperature settings, or blocked air vents.

How to Use Gears in a Manual Transmission?

Correct methods for using each gear in a manual transmission: 1. First gear is the starting gear, used for vehicle launch. Its gear ratio is similar to reverse gear, so it's not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, shift to second gear once the vehicle gains momentum; 2. Second gear is the passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling challenging situations; 3. Third gear is the transition gear, primarily for low-speed urban driving; 4. Fourth gear is the cruising gear, ideal for prolonged high-speed and economical driving. Most vehicles achieve their optimal fuel efficiency in the lower speed range of fourth gear; 5. Fifth gear is the high-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.

How to Turn Off the Start-Stop Function on the Chevrolet Equinox?

Methods to turn off the start-stop function on the Chevrolet Equinox: 1. Adjust the depth of the brake pedal to avoid triggering the engine's automatic start-stop. 2. If you dislike the automatic start-stop in automatic mode, you can switch to manual mode to avoid it. 3. Control the throttle reasonably to ensure driving stability. Tips for using the Chevrolet automatic start-stop: 1. The start-stop function must be manually turned off each time you start the car; permanent deactivation requires a visit to a 4S shop for settings. 2. During heavy traffic holidays, turning off this function provides a smoother experience, as frequent restarts can be annoying and may lead to being cut off by other drivers. 3. Disable the start-stop function when starting on a slope, as the delayed response may cause the vehicle to roll back, creating a hazardous situation.

What is the trick to never stalling when starting on a slope?

Tips to never stall when starting on a slope: 1. Stay calm and don't panic; 2. When stopping and starting again, lift the clutch pedal slowly; 3. Even when the clutch is raised high and there's loud noise, don't rush. Watch for the front hood to rise and start vibrating, then release the handbrake; 4. If the car doesn't move after releasing the handbrake, lift the clutch a bit more and raise your foot higher; 5. Once the car starts moving, it might accelerate quickly, so keep your foot steady. The main causes of stalling are lifting the clutch too quickly or the car rolling backward, which leads to hastily pressing the brake or releasing the clutch and causing a stall.
