Method to turn on the heater in NIO ES6: First start the engine for preheating, wait until the engine temperature pointer reaches the middle position, then turn on the heating air conditioning. At the same time, set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car. After waiting for 2 to 3 minutes, set the air circulation to internal circulation. The car's heating system can heat the air inside the car or the air drawn from outside into the car, thereby increasing the interior temperature. There are many types of car heating systems, which can be divided into hot water heating systems, gas heating systems, and exhaust heating systems based on different heat sources. Currently, small cars mainly use hot water heating systems, while large vehicles mainly use gas heating systems. In terms of body dimensions, the car has a length, width, and height of 4850mm, 1965mm, and 1758mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900mm.
When I first got my NIO ES6, the first thing I did in winter was turn on the heater, which was super easy to operate. After starting the car, I'd find the air conditioning control icon on the main screen and tap it, then simply slide the temperature slider to the right to a higher setting, like above 20°C, and the system would automatically start blowing warm air. If I didn’t want to fuss with settings, pressing the AUTO button would intelligently adjust the temperature and fan speed, warming up the cabin pretty quickly. I also made it a habit to check the recirculation mode to ensure heat retention, especially when stuck in traffic—using the heater this way also helped prevent fogging on the windows. Overall, the ES6’s climate control responds quickly, and while it does increase power consumption a bit, it’s not excessive, making long drives especially comfortable.
