How to Turn on the Heater in a Volkswagen Car?
2 Answers
To turn on the heater in a Volkswagen car, follow these steps: 1. Start the vehicle and wait for the engine coolant temperature to reach the normal operating range; 2. Activate the air recirculation mode and adjust the air conditioning system to heating mode. To turn on the air conditioning in a Volkswagen car, press the AC button and set the system to cooling mode. Volkswagen's vehicle lineup includes models such as the Beetle, Golf, Lavida, Bora, Sagitar, Jetta, and Magotan. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and trunk capacity of 510 liters.
I drive a Volkswagen, and here's how I always operate the heating system: First, start the engine but don't rush to turn on the fan. Let the engine run for 5 to 10 minutes until the coolant temperature gauge rises a bit, as the warm air comes from the engine heat transferred through the coolant. Then, look at the climate control panel on the center console. For manual systems, rotate the temperature knob to the red zone (high-temperature area) and set the fan speed to medium-low. Make sure not to press the AC button, as that activates the cooling system. Cars with automatic climate control are even simpler—just press the AUTO button and set your desired temperature, like 26°C, and the system will automatically balance the airflow. If warm air doesn't come out, it might be due to low coolant levels or a faulty thermostat, so regular maintenance checks are important. New owners don't need to worry—Volkswagen's heating systems are reliable and warm up quickly in winter. Regularly cleaning the cabin air filter also helps prevent odors and ensures a comfortable and safe ride.
