A/C system control
Cooling/heating
After starting the vehicle:
1. Select AUTO mode and the corre-
sponding indicator will illuminate. At
this moment, the compressor will auto-
matically turn on or off depending on
the temperature and the environment.
2. Select your desired temperature. The
A/C system will automatically adjust
air-out mode and air flow volume to
achieve this temperature.
3. Selecting the internal circulation mode
may speed up cooling or heating and
help to improve the economy and com-
fort of the vehicle.
Front defroster/defogger
After starting the vehicle:
1. Select the front defroster mode, the
corresponding indicator will illuminate.
2. Adjust the airflow, temperature, turn on
or off the compressor, or switch be-
tween the internal and external circulat-
ing modes on demand.
Notice
If the air is dirty or fog is formed inside the
car, switch to external circulation mode.
Caution
〉
Check the radiator and the air condition-
ing condenser on a regular basis. Use a
low-pressure water gun or a soft brush
to remove the leaves, insects and dust
from their front surface. Otherwise, these
objects will block the air flow, thereby re-
ducing the cooling effect.
〉
Running the air conditioner regularly
keeps the compressor and seals well lu-
bricated and prevents leakage. There-
fore, even in the cold season when air
conditioning is not required, it is neces-
sary to run the air conditioner at least
once a week for more than 10 minutes
each time.
〉
If the A/C system does not cool as well
as before, please head to service provid-
er for maintenance.
〉
Direct discharge of refrigerant into the
atmosphere is harmful to the environ-
ment and the refrigerant shall be recov-
ered by trained and certified technicians
using appropriate containers.
Notice
About the air conditioning smell
〉
Source of the smell
Internal and external air exchange
should be carried out for air conditioning
as its long-term use may gather dirt
which will mold after a long time, result-
ing in odor.
The air conditioning filter will accumulate
water vapor, dust, etc. after used for a
long time, resulting in odor.

Recommended measures
When the outside air is fresh, use the
external circulation mode so that the air
in the vehicle may maintain the good
