Eli5: a home AC unit. The differences between “cool”, “auto”, “dry”. What is actually happening in these settings and which should I use?

Question

It’s currently 38 degrees Celsius outside.

My ac remote also has things like “I Feel”, “Health”, “Turbo”.

What do they all mean?

Answer 1

The first of the three other things (can’t use that phrase because automod kills the comment) tells the unit the current temp is your preferred one – it will maintain the temp where the remote is at that moment.

Turbo allows the unit to move a massive volume of air for quick cool/quick heat. It should then automatically reduce to your preferred fan setting.
