Each person has individual criteria for choosing a car. Someone pays special attention to the safety of the car, others care about the volume of the trunk, and still others look at the availability of additional options: heated seats, air conditioning or climate control.
When buying a new car, you want it to be not only reliable, but also comfortable. In order to make travel in the car as pleasant as possible, climate control was created. This system includes air conditioning, heating and filtration. There are several sensors in the car interior that help to automatically adjust the temperature in the car, choosing the most comfortable one.
For beginners, it may seem that climate control is a complex system that requires special training to operate. In fact, everything is much simpler. Temperature control in the car interior is possible in two ways: in manual mode and automatic. For the first control option, it is recommended to carefully study the instructions in order to understand the subtleties of the system's functioning. Otherwise, you can significantly reduce the life of the system by doing something wrong.
It is considered optimal to turn on the system in automatic mode. To do this, the car owner only needs to turn on the climate control and set the desired temperature. Then the “smart” system will do everything by itself. True, many car owners do not like to use the automatic mode. The fact is that at first the fan will work very loudly, creating additional noise in the car. But as soon as the temperature in the car reaches the set point, the climate control will automatically switch to silent mode. Its work will be aimed at maintaining a comfortable temperature in the vehicle.
There are two types of climate control: one-zone and two-zone. The first version of the system is used to maintain the same temperature level throughout the cabin. Dual-zone climate control allows car owners to set different temperatures for themselves and passengers. It is worth noting one point, most models of the two-zone system have limitations on how much the temperature can differ. For example, a car owner wants to set the temperature for himself to 23 degrees, and the passenger says that he is cold and asks him to set the temperature to 29 degrees. This will not work due to the limitation of the difference.
If we talk about which climate control is better, then you need to clearly understand how the car will be used. For people who drive alone most of the time, there is no point in spending extra money on a two-zone system. For a family car, where children are often transported, the option with the ability to set the temperature to the driver and passengers is optimal. It is worth saying that three-zone and even four-zone climate control systems appear on the car market. The latter make it possible to set an individual temperature for each passenger in the cabin.
