How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioner for Warm Air?
2 Answers
Methods to turn on the car air conditioner for warm air: 1. First, turn on the ignition, then turn off the AC button, and start the vehicle to allow the engine to warm up until the coolant temperature reaches around 60°C. Note that after turning on the warm air, initially use the external circulation mode, then switch to internal circulation after a few minutes to maintain the interior temperature. Adjust the air volume and direction to a comfortable position, and set the temperature control to the red zone where you feel comfortable, and warm air will come out of the vents. 2. Press the AUTO button on the air conditioner and set the temperature to your desired level. The air conditioner will automatically adjust to maintain the temperature within the set range.
After starting the car, don't rush to turn on the air conditioning. Wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches the middle position, so that the air blown out will be warm enough. I usually turn the temperature knob to the red zone first, then adjust the fan speed to a comfortable level by turning it to the right. Remember to turn off the A/C button, as it's for cooling. Choose the right air vent direction—in winter, it's best to direct the airflow to the feet or both the feet and the windshield. This keeps the whole body warm and prevents fogging. If the windshield is already fogged up, just increase the fan speed. Using recirculation mode heats up the cabin faster, but remember to switch to fresh air mode every half hour to ventilate, otherwise the air inside will get stuffy. Don't set the temperature too high either; around 24°C is most comfortable, as higher temperatures can make you drowsy while driving. For long trips, bring a bottle of water, as prolonged use of the heater can dry out your throat.
