Today, we will explain how to make the best use of your vehicle's air conditioning. The first mistake to avoid is turning on the air conditioning when the engine is hot with the windows closed.

It is important to speed up the cooling temperature by leaving the windows open. The second mistake to avoid is not considering humidity and leaving the air conditioning on for too long inside the vehicle.

For good circulation, it is important to turn off the air conditioning from time to time. The third mistake to avoid is directing the air conditioning at sensitive areas of the body.

This can increase temperature fluctuations and may cause driving issues such as dizziness.

This can lead to an inability to demist the glass, especially on more humid days, causing condensation.
