Things to know about the controls of your car’s air conditioning system

Temperature
Once you choose not to use the automatic mode, you may still set temp and that’ll call up a particular air temperature, blended from the combination of warm air from heater core, fresh air, and cool air from AC evaporator. After that, you have to make decisions what to do with the air.

Automatic
Majority of cars these days have this mode as well as digital setting for the temperature, which eschews the old blue and red continuum of the slide levers temperature. The automatic mode today is tied to the cabin temperature sensor and slew of vacuum motors and servos, which adjust all climate options to keep the temperature you like with low humidity and less amount of fan and noise.

Fan
If you decide the direction and temperature of air flow, you need to decide how difficult you like to feel it. The speed of fan handles that. On other late model luxury cars, there would also be a fan’s sub-selection that could make the air flow softer while still attaining the fast fan speed’s high volume.

Flow
These are the different registers or levels in your car. Instrument panel vents, defrost vents, and floor vents are typical ones you need to select from, depending where you want to get hit with cold or hot air and if your windshield of your car is fogged or not.

Recirculate
It keeps recirculating air in your vehicle so less of this is exhausted out of your cabin. If you like to cool your vehicle down fast, it is useful since it will keep chilling the chilled air. Moreover , it’s good when you are driving through a certain road, yet know that you have to move to recirculate mode before you get that nasty smell in your car. Or else, recirculate keeps that in there longer. Remember that Max AC invokes recirculated airflow.

Filtration
Your vehicle might have switchable filtration system. This system serves on the incoming air to get rid of pollen.
-
Scent
Other modern cars don’t only take stuff out of the air, but it also put scent to it. Recent cars have this kind of feature and many are convinced of cabin air ionization’s usefulness on cars.
-
Zones
Oftentimes, modern cars have a feature like dual zone climate control, which separates the vehicle to right and left halves, enabling you to sync them to same temperature or let it be adjusted separated. This kind of system may be a little silly because air does not know imaginary boundaries inside the car. Other cars have a 3rd zone for quad zones or rear seats for every seating zone in luxury sedan.
