As already mentioned before, the air conditioning system of your car has to work as fine as possible to ensure that you do not lose out on your comfort levels while driving, especially when you are out in your car for a long trip or a long duration of time. The proper functioning of the air conditioning system of the car is required so as to ensure optimum comfort levels in your car. A majority of the care for optimum performance of the air conditioner system involves very basic and easy steps. So, below we have listed some key points that you need to keep in your mind for the proper functioning of the air conditioner of your car. These top five pro tips will help you to keep your car's air conditioner running smoothly:

Dissipate hot air out before use - When you sit in your car after at least a couple of hours, the cabin gets trapped with hot air, especially in summers. Turning on the air conditioner as soon as you sit in the car will put an excessive amount of load on the AC system, taking a lot of time to cool down the cabin. So, before turning on the air conditioner, let the hot air trapped in the cabin flow out, which can be done by rolling down the windows and turning off just the fan initially.

Roll up the windows while using AC - Some of the owners tend to drive the car with the air conditioner on and windows rolled down - a practice which only increases the time taken by the AC to cool down the cabin. So, always use the air conditioner with windows of the car rolled up.

Avoid driving with windows rolled down - A majority of car buyers tend to drive their cars with windows rolled down, which allows a significant amount of dust into the cabin. This dust entered can clog the AC vents as well as filters, thus reducing the cooling capability of the air conditioner in a whole.

Use air conditioner at least once in a week - Many drivers only use the fan blower of the air conditioner system or drive with windows rolled down most of the times, while using the air conditioner very rarely. In such a case when the air conditioner is rarely used, the coolant is not spread uniformly in the air compressor, thus not lubricating it properly. So, turn on the air conditioner at least once a week and run it for at least 15 minutes to ensure the proper flow of coolant in the system.

Regular maintenance of the air conditioner system - Whenever you pay a visit to the service station, tell the service personnel to give a minor check to the air conditioner system as well. Do check the condition of the AC filter, coolant level and cleaning of the whole system (if needed at times), so as to avoid any kind of foul smell or malfunctioning of any component within.
