How to Turn on the Car's Heater?
2 Answers
First, start the car to warm it up. Wait until the temperature gauge reaches the middle position, then turn on the heater and set the air circulation to external circulation. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes until the cold air inside the car is expelled, then switch the air circulation to internal circulation.
Turning on the car heater is quite simple. After starting the engine, wait a few minutes for it to warm up so the coolant temperature rises and the heater becomes effective. Then locate the temperature knob on the center console and turn it to the position with a red dot or high-temperature marking—this activates the heating mode. You can adjust the fan speed as needed, but remember to turn off the A/C button to save fuel, as it compresses cold air and isn't suitable for the heating system. When using the heater, adjust the vents to face you, and the recirculation mode can quickly warm up the cabin—just avoid using it too long to prevent stuffy air. Safety tip: If the heater doesn't warm up after the car has been idle for a while, check for coolant leaks or fan malfunctions. Especially in winter, ensure the heater works before driving to prevent window fogging and visibility issues.
