How to Turn on the Heater in the 2021 Haval M6 Plus?

First, fasten your seatbelt after getting into the car, press the brake pedal, and prepare to start the engine. Press the one-touch start button to start the car's engine. Run the engine until the water temperature reaches the normal operating temperature of 90 degrees Celsius, then turn the fan speed adjustment knob to the far right for the highest setting. When driving in the city, especially during rush hour traffic jams or in tunnels, it is advisable to use the car's heater in recirculation mode as much as possible.

In winter, it's freezing cold when driving, so I'm used to starting the car and letting it warm up for a few minutes until the temperature gauge needle rises to the middle before setting off. Press the air conditioning button on the center console and turn off the A/C button with the green light—this thing for cold air isn't needed. Turn the temperature knob clockwise all the way to the highest setting, press the fan speed button two or three times to increase the airflow to around level 3, and then warm air starts blowing from the footwell. If the car gets stuffy with too many people inside, press the recirculation button to switch the ventilation mode. If the windshield fogs up at first, adjust the air vents to blow both upward and downward to fix it. This routine is pretty simple and becomes second nature after a couple of tries.

I've thought about turning on the heater a few times. The key is to let the engine warm up first, otherwise it blows cold air. After starting the car, wait about 3 minutes until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the middle position before operating. Locate the air conditioning control panel in the center console area, rotate the temperature knob on the right side to the red zone, then set the fan speed to around level 2, and turn off the A/C energy-saving indicator light. Remember to select the foot vent mode with the air direction buttons to warm up your whole body faster. When the cabin temperature rises, if you notice fogging on the windows, simply switch to defog mode. On cold days, using your smartphone app to remotely start the car and warm it up before getting in can save waiting time.

The heating operation is actually quite simple: After starting the car, wait for the coolant temperature gauge to reach around 90 degrees, turn the temperature knob on the AC panel to the highest setting, turn off the AC button, and select a medium-low fan speed. It's recommended to use the footwell or windshield mode, or both simultaneously. After half an hour, switch to the external air circulation mode to refresh the air. Note that using the heater when the engine isn't warmed up is a waste of electricity.

The year I just got the car, I also researched how to turn on the heater, and now I can operate it with my eyes closed. After starting the car, take a glance at the coolant temperature gauge and wait until the needle passes the 1/3 mark. On the row of buttons on the AC panel, first turn the round temperature knob to the red area above 28 degrees, then tap the fan icon to adjust to the 2nd speed. Make sure to turn off the AC switch, as this cooling function wastes fuel and lowers the temperature. For airflow direction, it's recommended to prioritize blowing towards the feet, and then slightly open the front window gap for quick defogging. For models with automatic AC, pressing the AUTO button is even more convenient. Regularly replace the cabin air filter to maintain heating efficiency.

I've got the Haval's heating system down to a science. After starting the car, I first check if the water temperature gauge shows a blue light – that means I need to wait. Once the temperature needle stabilizes in the middle zone, I turn the temperature knob on the AC panel to the HI red zone and set the fan speed to level 2-3 for comfort. The key is to press the A/C button to turn off its green light, otherwise the compressor will just burn fuel without producing heat. Start with recirculation mode for rapid warming, then switch to fresh air mode after five minutes. The most effective airflow setting combines footwell and windshield vents – it warms your feet while preventing fogging. The whole process takes less than ten seconds, and it's absolutely vital for driving in sub-zero northern winters.
