The method to turn on the heater in a Geely car is: After the car has been running for about 8 to 15 minutes and the water temperature has risen to the normal level, you can then turn on the heater. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation, and do not turn on the AC switch, as the heater utilizes the car's own heat cycle, saving energy. Geely Automobile is a privately-owned car manufacturing and operation company. Taking its model Boyue as an example, its body dimensions are 4519mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1694mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of appearance, the front face design of the Boyue follows Geely's family-style "water ripple" grille. Considering the sense of power in an SUV, the designers reduced the number of grids, making the overall look more concise and the edges more distinct.

I've been driving a Geely car for about seven or eight years, and using the heater in winter is a common practice. It's quite simple: first, start the engine and let it warm up for a minute or two. You need the engine temperature to rise before you get warm air. Then, on the air conditioning control panel, look for the temperature knob. Turn it to the red zone—usually, the right side is for higher temperatures and the left for lower. Adjust it to a position that feels comfortable for you. The air direction button allows you to choose whether to direct the airflow upward toward the windshield or downward toward your feet. Adjusting the vent direction can help warm up the car faster. Be careful with the AC button if it's labeled "AC"; don't turn it on and off randomly unless there's fogging, as it consumes fuel and wastes energy. Also, set the air recirculation mode properly. Using the internal recirculation mode heats up the car faster, but if it gets stuffy after a while, switch to external recirculation for fresh air. I recommend getting the air conditioning system checked every six months and replacing the filter to prevent unpleasant odors. Safety comes first when driving, so don't rush to start in cold weather—let the car warm up a bit before you go.

As a parent who frequently takes children out, using the heater requires attention to comfort and safety. Geely cars have simple operations: After starting the car, wait until the engine warms up and the temperature display on the dashboard shows normal, then adjust the round knob on the air conditioning panel to a higher temperature, watching for the red marker. Don’t set the fan speed too high to avoid noise; adjust it according to personal needs. Remember to set the airflow direction not directly at the windshield to prevent fogging—directing it toward the feet or side doors is best. Also, in the air control settings, try the auto mode, which automatically adjusts fan speed and temperature. A key reminder: If the heater isn’t warm, it might be due to low coolant or a clogged air conditioning system, so regular maintenance is essential. Using the heater while driving is beneficial for both children and the elderly, but avoid excessive heat to prevent drowsiness—open the window for ventilation if needed.

I know a bit about automotive technology. Geely's heating system relies on engine waste heat conduction. Operation steps: After ignition and a few minutes when the engine warms up, the engine coolant heats the air. On the console, rotate the temperature knob to the high-temperature zone for setting, manually adjust the airflow direction and speed, or press the AUTO button to let the system manage automatically. The principle is heat exchange, blowing warm air through ducts. Additional note: A dirty cabin air filter can affect the quality and efficiency of the warm air; it's recommended to clean it quarterly. During operation, avoid frequently switching the AC button on and off to reduce fuel consumption. Select the appropriate interior mode to ensure comfort.

Commuting daily in a Geely, turning on the heater is an old habit: after the engine starts, wait for the temperature gauge needle to move, then turn the air conditioning temperature knob to the right for high heat setting. Increasing the fan speed warms up faster, and setting the airflow direction to the upper body or feet is most direct. Don’t forget to check the air conditioning panel buttons to ensure the mode is correct for smooth heat output. A related tip: during sudden weather changes, the heater can defrost and prevent accidents. For older cars, pay attention to low coolant levels, as they can cause heater issues—top up promptly. For maintenance, I check the system every 5,000 kilometers.
