Notice! Misunderstandings in the use of vehicles air conditioners
I believe that people who drive all the time are already familiar with the operation of vehicle air conditioners, but do you really know some things? Or do you know all about it and never notice it? There are also many misunderstandings in the use of air conditioners. Once improperly operated, it will damage the health of the people in the vehicle and the life of the vehicle. There are some misunderstandings to be aware of!
Misunderstanding 1: Turn on the air conditioner and smoke in the vehicle
Some people turn on the air conditioner and light a cigarette when they stop to rest or wait for someone in the vehicle. Doing so is bad for your health. The reason is very simple, because the doors and windows are tightly closed, so the smoke can't be discharged all at once, which will naturally irritate your eyes and respiratory system.
Tip: If you can't resist smoking, remember to adjust the air conditioning ventilation control to the "exhaust" position.
Misunderstanding 2: Choose the temperature of the air conditioner at will
Some people turn the temperature very low in order to cool down. However, in doing so, the endocrine system of the human body cannot be easily adjusted, and it is easy to get sick. When the indoor temperature is too low, it will cause a variety of discomforts, such as lower extremity pain, general weakness and chills, headache, sore throat, abdominal pain, backache, etc.
Tip: Under normal circumstances, the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle and the outside temperature is 5°C to 6°C, so it is best for the owner to check the outdoor temperature when adjusting the temperature.
Misunderstanding 3: The air conditioner is always on in low gear
When the air conditioner is turned on in the vehicle, most people will not drive to the maximum gear, thinking that doing so will cost fuel, and the noise of the fan is too loud, which is annoying. However, when the air conditioner is in use, it will inhale a lot of dust to form dirt. After a long time, mildew will occur, and then it will be released into the vehicle through the air conditioner, and it is easy to be inhaled in the vehicle.
Tip: Every once in a while, turn on the air conditioner to the maximum gear and blow it for half an hour to effectively prevent dust accumulation.
Misunderstanding 4: Turn on the air conditioner as soon as you enter the vehicle
It's hot outside and the inside of the vehicle is even hotter. As soon as you get in the vehicle, your first reaction may be to turn on the air conditioner. But this not only does not have a good cooling effect, but also increases the pressure of the engine during initial operation.
Tip: The vehicle is very hot, the first action to get in the car should be to open the window, start the external circulation of the air conditioner, and exhaust the hot air.
Misunderstanding 5: Air conditioning is also used when driving at low speeds
If you still use the air conditioner when driving at low speed, the engine will run at a higher speed artificially when you encounter traffic jams while driving, which will reduce the service life of the engine and the air conditioner compressor.
Tip: When encountering a traffic jam, the vehicle will naturally slow down, then remember to turn off the air conditioner.
Misunderstanding 6: Stacking items near the air intake
Some people are used to stacking various items near the air inlet, which will block the air inlet and block the air circulation of the air conditioning system.
Tip: Keep the cabin neat and tidy, and pay special attention to removing items near the air intake to ensure proper air circulation.
Misunderstanding 7: Turn off the air conditioner after turning off the flame
It is the habit of many car owners to remember to turn off the air conditioner after the ignition is turned off. However, the consequence of this is that it will cause a large number of molds to multiply in the air conditioner due to humidity.
Tip: The correct way is to turn off the air-conditioning of the air conditioner a few minutes before parking, and turn on the natural wind later. Because, the temperature in the air-conditioning duct rises before stopping, which will eliminate the temperature difference with the outside world, which can keep the air-conditioning system relatively dry and prevent the reproduction of mold.
