To turn on the heater in a Geely Emgrand during winter, follow these steps: 1. Start the car; 2. Turn off the AC; 3. Wait for the water temperature to rise to normal levels; 4. Turn the knob to the red section to activate the heater mode. Taking the 2021 Geely Emgrand as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4632mm, width 1789mm, height 1470mm, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The curb weight is 1255kg. The 2021 Geely Emgrand features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109ps, a maximum torque of 142Nm, and a maximum power of 80kW. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a Geely Emgrand, and using the heater in winter is quite straightforward. First, start the car and let the engine warm up for a few minutes until the temperature gauge reaches the middle. Then, turn the temperature knob on the air conditioning panel near the steering wheel to the red high-temperature zone and press the fan button to select an appropriate airflow level—avoid setting it too high to prevent excessive noise. Adjust the air vents to direct airflow towards the feet or windshield for effective defogging. Also, check the air circulation mode: start with recirculation mode to warm up faster, but switch to fresh air mode after about 30 minutes to prevent stuffiness. I also like to preheat the seats before driving in the morning. The whole process takes just a few minutes.

The key to turning on the heater is transferring engine heat to the air conditioning system. After starting the engine, wait a bit for the water temperature to rise—this is a good time to rub your hands together to warm up. Then, locate the air conditioning control panel, set the temperature higher, and turn on the fan speed. Some Emgrand models have an AUTO button for convenience, allowing the system to adjust automatically, but I personally don’t rely on it too much. When operating, avoid immediately setting the fan to high speed to prevent uncomfortable cold air blowing in your face. Wait until warm air comes out of the vents. In winter, use the external circulation mode to prevent windshield fogging—safety comes first.

Geely Emgrand heating operation steps: Start the engine and wait for it to warm up, approximately until the water temperature rises a bit. Then turn the temperature to the high setting and turn on the fan. A few simple steps to quickly get it done.
