How to Turn on the Heater in Haval H6?
3 Answers
Haval H6 heater activation methods: 1. For automatic air conditioning, simply increase the temperature setting - higher numbers indicate warmer temperatures; 2. For manual air conditioning, turn on the AC switch, press the AC button until its light turns off, then rotate the knob fully toward the red direction. The Haval H6 is the flagship model under the Haval brand, positioned as an urban intelligent SUV. It offers Mitsubishi 2.0L gasoline-powered variants and Green Power 2.0T diesel versions, available in three trims: Urban, Elite, and Premium. Regarding dimensions, the Haval H6 measures 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height.
When I first bought my Haval H6, I didn't know how to turn on the heater in winter and had to figure it out. After starting the car, I found the round temperature knob on the center console and turned it to the right. Setting it above 25°C usually starts blowing warm air. If the A/C button is lit, it's best to turn it off because the heater relies on engine heat, not cooling. After driving for a few minutes when the engine warms up, the heater becomes more effective. Be careful not to set the fan speed too high initially; try medium first. If the Haval H6 has automatic air conditioning, just press the AUTO button, and it will adjust the temperature and fan speed automatically. Using the heater in winter also helps defog the windshield, making driving much safer. I also remind myself to have the technician check the cabin air filter during every maintenance to prevent dust odors in the heater, ensuring healthy driving.
As someone who frequently drives long distances, I pay more attention to energy efficiency and comfort when using the Haval H6's heating system. After starting the car, don't rush to turn on the heater—let the car run for a few minutes until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the midpoint. This way, the warm air won't feel chilly. Rotate the temperature knob to the heating zone and turn off the A/C button to save some fuel. The Haval H6's heating system is quite smart, as it uses engine heat to warm the air directly. I use a low fan speed to avoid excessive noise. When using the heater, I occasionally switch between recirculation and fresh air modes—for example, turning on recirculation for a minute before switching back to fresh air—to keep the cabin air fresh and reduce fogging. Long-distance driving with the heater on doesn't consume much fuel, but if the warm air is slow to come out, check if the coolant level is sufficient, as low coolant can sometimes affect performance. These habits help me stay comfortable and safe while driving in winter.
