To turn on the heater in a Buick car, follow these steps: 1. Start the engine; 2. Press the air conditioning control button; 3. Turn off the air conditioning cooling switch; 4. Click the temperature adjustment plus button to adjust the air conditioning temperature. Here is more information about Buick cars: 1.

I prefer simplicity and practicality when driving. To use the Buick's heating system, first start the car and let the engine warm up for a while before hot air comes out. Then turn the temperature control knob firmly toward the red direction until the pointer goes past the middle position, for example, to around 28°C. Don’t set the fan speed too high—2-3 levels are enough. Switch the air vent direction to floor mode so the warm air rises naturally for better heating. Remember to press the A/C button to turn it off, as keeping the compressor running wastes fuel and cools the air. Using recirculation mode in winter heats up faster, but switch back to fresh air mode on long drives for ventilation. At first, cold air may come out, but just wait patiently for two minutes, and it’ll get warm. Regular maintenance of the cooling system helps prevent malfunctions.
As a car enthusiast, I understand the heating principle of Buick, which relies on engine waste heat transferred through coolant. After starting the car, turn the temperature knob to the high-temperature zone, usually clockwise to the end, and the red light indicates heating. Adjust the fan speed according to comfort, and turn off the A/C to avoid compressor power consumption. Select HEAT or FLOOR mode to direct warm air to the feet. Automatic air conditioning is more convenient, just press AUTO and set the temperature for automatic control. Note that when the engine is cold at startup, it may blow cool air, which is normal—don't worry. Use recirculation to speed up heating and combine it with the defogging function to prevent fogging. Check coolant levels and maintain the system to prevent issues.
