When you live in a tropical country, driving with your air condition unit running is must. That is unless you like driving uncomfortable and drenched in your own sweat. Just imagine your AC unit not working properly, everyone from the driver to the passengers in the car will suffer. So it should be among your car concerns to get to know your car air conditioning more. To make sure you’re getting the most out of it, you might wanna avoid the following mistakes people often make when using their car air conditioning unit.
Not Keeping AUTO On
Many cars nowadays have an auto air re-circulation button on their climate controls. It’s best to leave this on to prevent buildup of fog and condensation in the windows that can hamper visibility. Keeping a set temperature and leaving the air conditioning in a mode that it can manage itself is the best way to keep the windows clear and still keep occupants cool. Adjust the temperature all you want, but keep that button on.
Hogging The Vents
People who live in the tropics knows how heavenly it feels when the cool air from the AC is blowing directly at you. However, doing this prevents the cool air from circulating throughout the interior properly. So it’s better to point the vents upwards for the cool air to circulate easier and faster.
Blasting It
Instead of blasting the AC unit and wasting gas in attempt to cool down your car faster, do this trick instead. Roll down the passenger window and open and close the driver’s door a handful of times. This will quickly and effectively cool down a hot car.
Not Taking It To The Car Servicing Shop For Regular Maintenance
The more you keep its maintenance up-to-date the more your car’s condition is restored therefore prolonging its lifespan. With that, you’ll be able to enjoy your car longer than it would if you just let minor damages turn into unrepairable ones due to neglect. So, as with any part of a vehicle, may it be oil, tires, or brake fluid, the key to an efficient and effective A/C system is regular maintenance. If you don’t know how to do this yourself, you should get your AC checked every time you take your car for its regular maintenance.
Windows Down In The Morning
Because it’s usually not that hot early in the morning, car owners tend to drive with their windows down before noon. However, it’s actually better to keep the windows up and turn the AC right away to regulate cabin temperature and prevent fogging up. This keeps you AC from working too hard to reach a comfortable temperature as the temperature outside rises.
