First, start the vehicle and allow the engine to warm up until the coolant temperature reaches above 40°C-60°C. Then, turn off the AC button, adjust the air volume and direction to your comfort level, and set the temperature control to the red zone.

Heating up your 2013 Buick Excelle is super easy! First, start the engine but don’t turn on the fan immediately—let it idle for 3-5 minutes to warm up the coolant until the temperature gauge needle passes the halfway mark. Then, turn the large temperature knob on the center console all the way to the red high-heat zone. Next, adjust the fan speed knob to the lowest setting (1st gear) for quiet operation and energy efficiency. Always remember to press the AC button on the climate control panel to turn it off—heating doesn’t need the compressor’s help. If your feet feel cold, hit the foot vent mode button; warmth rising from below is much cozier than blasting air at your face. For foggy windows, switch to the windshield defrost mode—the warm air will clear the fog in seconds. On long winter drives, avoid keeping windows closed the whole time—occasionally switch to fresh air mode to prevent CO₂ buildup and drowsiness.
