How to turn on the cold air of car air conditioner? Analysis and operation guide of hot topics across the Internet
As the high temperatures continue in summer, the use of car air conditioners has become one of the hot topics on the Internet recently. How to turn on the cold air correctly and avoid common misunderstandings has become the focus of car owners. This article combines the hot discussion data of the past 10 days to provide you with a structured operation guide and practical suggestions.
1. Statistics of hot topics related to automobile air conditioners on the entire network in the past 10 days

| Ranking | hot topics | Number of discussions (10,000) | core concerns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Air conditioning odor treatment | 28.5 | Mold growth and cleaning methods |
| 2 | Reasons for poor cooling effect | 19.2 | Insufficient refrigerant and clogged filter element |
| 3 | Correct steps to turn on the cold air | 15.7 | Operation sequence, temperature setting |
| 4 | Controversy over increased fuel consumption | 12.3 | Impact of AC switch, energy saving tips |
2. Standard process for turning on cold air in car air conditioners
According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) recommendations, the correct sequence of operations is as follows:
| steps | Operation content | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Start the engine | Avoid turning on the air conditioner directly |
| 2 | Turn on external circulation for 1-2 minutes | Expelling hot air from the car |
| 3 | Press the AC button | When the indicator light comes on, the compressor starts |
| 4 | Adjust the temperature to 22-24℃ | Too low temperature increases fuel consumption |
| 5 | Switch internal circulation mode | Improve cooling efficiency |
3. Solutions to high-frequency problems
1. Slow cooling problem:Actual measurement data shows that the temperature inside the car can reach over 60°C after exposure to the sun. It is recommended to open the windows for ventilation first, and then use the air conditioner to blow the glass, which can increase the cooling speed by 40%.
2. Odor treatment:A popular Douyin test shows that turning on the maximum air volume for at least 5 minutes every month can reduce the probability of mold growth by 75%. Severe odor requires replacement of the air conditioning filter element (recommended every 10,000-20,000 kilometers).
3. Energy saving tips:Zhihu’s popular experiments have proven that keeping the air outlet upward and setting the temperature to 24°C can save 15%-20% of fuel compared to 18°C.
4. Comparison of air conditioning systems of different models
| Vehicle type | Cooling start time | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional fuel vehicle | 30-60 seconds | Manual temperature control |
| hybrid | 15-30 seconds | Battery pre-cooling |
| New energy vehicles | Instant cooling | APP remote start |
5. Expert advice
1. The air conditioning system needs to be tested every year before summer, focusing on checking the refrigerant pressure (standard values: low pressure 25-35psi, high pressure 150-250psi).
2. When there is a traffic jam for a long time, it is recommended to turn off the AC switch intermittently to prevent the condenser from freezing.
3. Note to Tesla and other electric vehicle owners: Excessive use of air conditioning may reduce cruising range by 10%-15%.
Through the above structured guide, we hope to help you use your car air conditioner more scientifically. If you have special questions, it is recommended to consult the professional technicians of the 4S store.
