Car tips & advice:Latest Entries

It's August, finally the long rainy season has finished and has turned in to the very hot midsummer. (Well, actually we are having typhoon and trrential rain these days.)

 

When you drive a car in summer, car air conditioning is essential.

Especially after parking a car outside under the scorching sun, it's impossible to grab the steering wheel and sit on a burning seat straight away.  Actually, sometimes it becomes over 70 degrees inside of the car....!

 

Let us give you a tip for such a situation, using air conditioning.

 

First of all, open the all windows of your vehicle to ventilate the interior before you get in. Just doing this helps a lot to cool down the inside of you car. Better still, using a sun shade for the windscreen while the car is parked.

 

After you start driving, crank up the air conditioner and leave the windows open a little.  Also, set the air circulation system to the FRS mode at the same time.

This is a more efficient way to get rid of the heat of the interior, such as the surface of seats and the dash board by air circulation.

 

Then set the air circulation to the REC mode and turn down the air conditioner.  You can cool down inside of the car quickly as well as the wind-chill factor, you feel cooler.  It's better than just tuning on air conditioner, and also has a favorable effect for the fuel consumption!
