How to Turn on the Heater in BYD Song Plus?
2 Answers
Do not immediately turn on the heating air conditioning when warming up the car in the morning. Wait until the water temperature in the radiator rises before turning on the air conditioning. Do not set the air conditioning temperature too high. Prolonged exposure to excessively hot temperatures can make the driver drowsy and affect driving. Additionally, avoid directing the warm air directly at the driver's face. After turning on the heater, if the windows start to fog up, most people tend to turn off the heater or use cold air to clear the fog. Instead, increase the heater fan speed and let it blow for a while longer. At this point, check if the air filter is too dusty or if the airflow regulator is malfunctioning. If so, it's advisable to visit a repair shop for inspection.
I've been driving the Song Plus for a while now, and using the heater is actually quite simple. After starting the car, don't rush—wait until the water temperature gauge on the dashboard rises to the middle position before operating it, as the engine heat will be sufficient by then. Simply rotate the temperature knob on the center console toward the red H direction, and set it above 23°C to get warm air. Here's the key point—never press the A/C button with the snowflake icon, as that's for cooling. If you're too lazy to adjust the fan speed, pressing the AUTO button near the steering wheel for automatic temperature control is the most hassle-free option, and it can be used in conjunction with the seat heating function on cold days. When you first turn on the heater, it's recommended to select the recirculation mode for faster warming, but remember to switch to external circulation after a while, otherwise the windshield is prone to fogging up.
