To turn on the heater in a Geely Boyue during winter, simply press the mode button on the air conditioning panel. The Geely Boyue is an SUV under the Geely brand, with exterior dimensions of 4519mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1694mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.8TD engine, a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a DSI 6-speed automatic transmission. It also features a pre-collision safety system, ACC intelligent adaptive cruise control, 360-degree dynamic 3D panoramic imaging, an in-car air purification management system, and an intelligent voice interaction system.
Turning on the heating in the Geely Boyue is actually quite simple. When starting the cold engine in winter, don't rush to turn on the heater. Wait until the coolant temperature gauge needle rises to the middle position before operating. At this point, rotate the temperature knob on the left side of the center console to the red zone or set the digital display above 25°C, then adjust the fan speed knob to your preferred level. Remember not to press the A/C button (which activates the air conditioning compressor) as it's completely unnecessary for heating. For faster warming, you can press the air recirculation button, but remember to switch to fresh air mode after half an hour for ventilation. I prefer setting the air vents to blow towards the feet and windshield - this keeps feet warm while preventing window fogging. It's best to clean the cabin air filter before using the heater each time, otherwise dusty odors may come through the vents.
Using the heater in the BoYue depends on the engine status, which I deeply realized during cold starts. First, let the car idle for two minutes until the engine warms up, then simply turn the temperature control knob—the dial with red and blue markings—to the right into the high-temperature zone. Next, press the fan speed button to increase airflow, and selecting the mixed airflow mode at the vents is most practical. Pay special attention to ensuring the AC light on the air conditioning screen is off, as running the compressor in winter increases fuel consumption and blows cold air. If the windshield is frosted in the morning, using the defrost mode with hot air clears it quickly. Turning on the recirculation does heat up the cabin faster, but it can get stuffy over time, so remember to switch it off. It's also essential to have the coolant level checked by a technician during maintenance.
