How to use your car AC efficiently in the summer season
During the summer season or on a hot day, the air conditioning (AC) in your car may not be enough to provide you relief. AC is one of the most important features of a car. Automakers are providing the best of technology like Climate Control or automatic AC, but sometimes it just does not work. But there's an art to cool your car correctly. Below are some of the handy tips to use the AC efficiently.
Park in the shade
The easiest way to cool your car is to ensure it does not heat up too much in the first place. Try to find a place to park that's away from direct sunlight or covered. It could be a basement parking or under the shade of a tree. Also, you can use window shades, available at car accessory shops to block out the sun. If you have leather seats, it's advisable to cover them with a sheet. This will help to keep the seats cool.
Always use Re-circulation mode
As the AC is blowing cool air at your face, turn on the re-circulation mode. This means that the AC will circulate only the cooler air trapped inside the cabin and won't suck air from the outside. In turn, that will need the system to work less to cool the vehicle down further.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the car is very important. Never forget to follow your vehicle's periodic maintenance schedule, when the cabin air filter should be exchanged. Additionally, at some point, the refrigerant in the system will need to be replaced. Get the AC checked with an authorized service center.
Ventilate the car
In case, your car's interior is excessively hot, it's a lot better if you'll try and ventilate the cabin first before turning on the AC. For this, you'll require to open all the windows and doors and let them run idle with the AC on for some time. With this, the hot air will escape and will make things a whole lot easier for your car's AC to cool the car down quickly.
The low speed on Auto AC
To decrease the temperature inside your car, start the AC at the lowest speed and you can later adjust it according to the occupant's requirement.
