Spanish car manufacturer SEAT(owned by Volkswagen Group) has released some helpful tips on how to make a car's air-conditioning system work effectively.

According to its research, around two-thirds or ~67 percent of drivers are not aware that driving in higher temperatures and dehydrated can cause tiredness, dizziness, headaches and reduced reaction times.

The following tips will help make your car's air-conditioning system work effectively as well as reduce cabin temperatures before setting off and while driving.

1)The first thing to do when you enter a car on a sunny day is to open your door and lower the windows for a minute or two to allow fresh air to come in.



Shutting the doors and turning the A/C on to maximum immediately will only recirculate the hot air. Driving while too hot and dehydrated has the same effect as being under the influence of alcohol.

2)Your car maintenance should not be limited to only changing oil, tyres or brake fluids. Changing the cabin air filters every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers) will also make your A/C work effectively.

3)
Pointing the air jets upward is better than directing it towards you or the passengers as it allows the cool air spread around more effectively.

4)
Using the Auto option instead of keeping the A.C on all the time prevents fogging and reduced visibility, while keeping drivers and passengers cool.

5) Use the AC on cool mornings as well to prevent windows from fogging up when the outside temperature rises.

Have you been making these common air-conditioning mistakes in your car?

Great tips, I already do some....

Waoo!

Good one!!

Nice tips

Nice one. thanks.

Nice one especiallyy the illustrations.

My AC has been performing below standard and I felt it's gas or compressor, until I visited one experienced technician. After thorough check, he simply said I should change the air filter. I couldn't believe it, cause I never envisaged that the air filter will need change unless it's damaged. Was anticipating taking the filter to a vulcaniser to blow out the dirt.

I changed the filter and my AC started freezing. Was damn HAPPY.

You don't need to remove the dashboard bro, the air filter is directly under the safe/glove compartment. Get an expert to remove it, its quite simple.

my kazeem poured 240ml oil into my compressor instead of 120ml... Compressor starts and stops intermittently no cooling.... Kazeem claims compressor is bad...that I needed a new compressor...my mind just flashed to radautoworks... Price list... New Mercedes Benz compressor agbedo...eeewooo.... So I followed up with Mosbus... Right now no AC but purse still gara dia like that ...

Yes, that's one of the things we recommend to most customers when they come for oil changes because they've never changed them. Some people think we're just trying to sell them something when we do.

Poster, please what 2002 Camry are we talking about?! Removing the cabin filter is child's play. All u need to do is open ur glove box and remove the screw holding the lowering arm of the glove box so u can detach it completely. And voila!!! U have access to ur filter. It is pretty simple and straightforward...
