3. Tint your windows.
4. Leave car windows open slightly.
5. Turn the floor air vents on.
6. Use the fresh air setting instead of recirculation on your A/C.

8. Turn on the heat to cool the engine.

How do you fix high coolant temp?

Here are some steps to take if you notice your car starting to overheat.

1. Turn your heater on full blast. That helps drain some heat from the engine while you find a place to stop.
2. Get off the road and stop.
3. Lift the hood.
4. Let the engine cool down.
5. Check the coolant tank.

At what temperature should my cooling fan come on?

Do both radiator fans turn on at the same time?

The answer to your question is yes both fans will run when your at 230 degrees, if you have the parking lights on and your at 212 degrees one fan will come on, and when you have the air conditioning on you have one fan on as well.

What is the difference between condenser fan and radiator fan?

On some vehicles, for example, only the condenser fan operates with the air conditioner, while only the radiator fan operates based on engine temperature. On other vehicles, both fans can be activated by either air conditioning or engine temperature.

Does coolant make your AC colder?

Freon, or coolant, is the chemical in the air conditioning system that cools the air. If you put more coolant in your system and still have a problem with getting cool air, then there is likely another issue. You may need to have your hoses and other parts of the air conditioner checked.

Does coolant help your AC?

Actually these are two separate systems. Your A/C system uses a type of refrigerant (commonly called Freon) to cool the interior of your vehicle. Having a coolant flush performed will not help your A/C stay cool, or visa versa.

Does coolant go through the AC condenser?

The refrigerant enters the compressor as a vapour. Just as a radiator does with hot engine coolant, the condenser pulls heat from the hot vapour, transferring it to the outside air. As the refrigerant cools, it condenses into a liquid.
