How to Turn on the Heater in Nissan Patrol?
2 Answers
Method to turn on the heater in Nissan Patrol: 1. Start the vehicle and let the engine warm up until the coolant temperature reaches above 60 degrees; 2. Turn off the AC button, adjust the air volume and direction to a comfortable position, then set the temperature control to the red zone where you feel comfortable. In terms of exterior design, the front face of the Patrol differs from typical Nissan family cars, featuring a large honeycomb grille and thick chrome trim. The slightly protruding waistline and straight lines on the side of the body give it a very rugged appearance. For the interior, the Patrol is filled with leather and wood trim. The spacious dashboard shows no trace of off-road features, except for a knob behind the gear lever used to adjust the off-road mode, which includes sand, road, rock, and snow modes.
I'm quite experienced with turning on the heater in a Patrol. After starting the vehicle, don't rush to turn on the AC—wait for the engine to warm up for a minute or two until the coolant temperature gauge rises near the midpoint. The climate control panel is usually located beside the steering wheel, either on the left or in the center. Find the large temperature knob and turn it to 'Hi' or the red heating zone. Press the AUTO button to activate automatic mode, which gradually delivers warm air to the windshield and footwells to avoid a sudden blast of cold air. For manual operation, select the airflow direction to Defrost and Foot mode, then adjust the fan speed to medium or high. Use recirculation mode to retain heat and minimize loss. On long drives, once the heater stabilizes, the cabin temperature balances out, and fuel consumption won't spike too much. Regularly check the cabin air filter to prevent dust buildup and blocked vents. The process is simple, but patiently waiting for the engine to warm up is key.
