A/C System
General Instructions
The A/C system can reduce the air temperature
and humidity inside the vehicle.
The A/C is only available when the engine is
running. At this time, all the vehicle windows
should be closed.
The running of the A/C system adds an extra
load to the engine. Under extremely hot
conditions or when the engine needs to run at
full load (such as when climbing a long
mountainous road or driving amidst congested
traffic), this will result in high engine
temperature. If the pointer approaches the red
area of the thermometer, you should switch off
the A/C until the engine temperature returns to
normal.
To cool the engine, the radiator cooling fan may
continue to run after the engine is turned off.
During this period, if the A/C and the air
volume adjustment knob are in ON mode, the
A/C switch indicator light will continue to
work.
If the humidity is rather high, when the A/C
system is turned on, minor mist or fogging may
be found on the vehicle windows. This is
normal for most vehicles which are equipped
with an electronic A/C system. It is not a fault.
After the A/C system has run for approximately
several seconds, the fogging will disappear.
Caution
Only when the fan is turned on can the A/C
start to operate. When the air volume
adjustment knob is off, or when the
temperature approaches zero degrees, the
A/C will not cool the air.
The A/C filter can remove pollen and dust
which the hot and cold air system brings in from
outside.
The A/C filter must be replaced at the time of
regular maintenance.
If you often drive in areas of poor air quality,
you should shorten the A/C air filter
replacement cycle. If it is found that the air flow
emitting from the outlets is not as smooth as
usual, you should replace the A/C air filter as
soon as possible. When the ignition key is
turned from the “LOCK” or “ACC” position to
the “ON” position, the A/C
Controller circuit will be powered on. It will
automatically resume the working state of the
A/C controller stored after the last time power
was removed, and restore the initial settings of
the A/C system automatically. Warning
Warning
●
Vehicle window blurring and smudging
can extremely easily increase the risk of
accidents and death. For the sake of safety,
all vehicle windows must be free from ice,
snow and fog, so as to ensure clear vision.
●
For example, murky air inside the vehicle
can easily make the driver feel tired, sluggish
and detracted, and thus susceptible to
accidents and death.
●
The A/C system must be diagnosed and
repaired by technicians with special
knowledge and using special tools. Therefore,
when the A/C system has a fault, make sure
to contact an authorized BAIC dealership for
checks.
