How to Turn on the Heater in the Car?
2 Answers
The steps to turn on the car heater are as follows: Press the brake pedal of the car, press the one-button start key to start the 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 highest setting to turn on the heater. The following are the functions of the car air conditioner heater: 1. Heating: In winter when the weather is cold, the driver and passengers in a moving car may feel cold. At this time, the car air conditioner can provide warm air to the cabin to increase the air temperature. 2. Defrosting: In winter or early spring, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin is large, and the window glass may frost or fog up, which can affect the driver's vision and is not conducive to safe driving. At this time, the heater can be used to remove the fog or frost from the glass.
I've been driving for over a decade and have some insights about using the heater. In winter, don't rush to turn on the heater immediately after starting the car. Wait for about 3-5 minutes until the engine coolant temperature reaches around 90°C. Then look at the climate control panel in the center of the dashboard - turn the temperature knob to the red zone, usually setting it above 26°C for sufficient warmth. Remember to turn off the AC button as it's for cooling, and keeping it on would just waste fuel. Next, select your preferred air vent direction - I usually choose the footwell plus windshield mode to keep my feet warm while preventing window fogging. Set the fan speed higher initially when warming up, then reduce it once it gets warm. Turn off the heater before parking to prevent moisture buildup and mildew.
