After starting the car, wait for 8 to 15 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level before turning on the heating function. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to the internal circulation setting. To switch to the heating mode, press the button with a sun symbol on the dashboard, and the air conditioning will start producing heat. The first row of buttons on the dashboard, from left to right, controls the air conditioning cooling switch, head-level air outlet switch, and foot-level and front windshield air outlet switch. To ensure comfort during driving or to save fuel, adjust the air conditioning level and the direction of the air outlets according to personal preference.

Operating the air conditioning in my Haval M6 Plus is quite straightforward. After starting the car, first press the A/C button to activate the compressor, which is crucial as it handles the cooling. Then, turn the temperature adjustment knob counterclockwise to lower the temperature, say to around 18°C. Increase the airflow using the adjacent fan speed knob—the higher the airflow, the quicker the cooling, but don't set it too high to avoid excessive noise. When switching to heating, it's even simpler: just turn off the A/C button to deactivate the compressor. After the engine runs for a while, it naturally warms up. I then turn the temperature knob clockwise to raise it above 25°C, and warm air starts flowing. The automatic mode is a game-changer—just press the AUTO button, set a desired temperature, and the car adjusts the airflow and temperature automatically, perfect for lazy drivers. In summer, before turning on the cooling, I often open the windows briefly to ventilate, then close them and switch on the AC, which cools the car faster and saves a bit of fuel.

When operating the air conditioning in the Haval M6 Plus, it's better to prioritize safety and comfort. For cooling, turn the temperature knob to the low-temperature zone (usually marked in blue), press the A/C button to activate the refrigeration system, set the fan speed to medium, and adjust the vents to avoid direct airflow to prevent catching a cold. For heating, turn off the A/C, adjust the temperature knob to the high-temperature zone (marked in red), and wait for the engine to warm up—the hot air will be supplied automatically. I usually adjust the vents downward or switch to the windshield defogging mode. If using the AUTO function, press the button and set the temperature to around 20°C; the system will automatically balance the interior and exterior temperatures, maintaining stable fan speed, which is very convenient for long-distance driving. A reminder: when using heating, adjust the airflow direction to avoid moisture buildup and fogging on the windows, which can impair visibility. In winter, wait for the engine to warm up before turning on the heating for optimal effectiveness.

When operating the air conditioning in the Haval M6 Plus, I usually handle cooling and heating in separate steps. For cold air, press the A/C button to activate the refrigeration compressor, turn the temperature knob left to lower the temperature, and increase the fan speed as needed. For heating, turn off the A/C, turn the temperature knob right to raise the temperature, and use the engine's residual heat to provide warm air, saving fuel by not engaging the compressor. The air conditioning system also has an air outlet direction knob, allowing me to adjust it to blow air at the feet or the front windshield—cool air at the head and warm air at the feet for greater comfort. The manual mode offers high flexibility, but I prefer using the AUTO button for one-touch intelligent control. However, when the compressor noise is loud, I manually reduce the fan speed. For ventilation, it's recommended to occasionally open the windows to exchange air and avoid the buildup of carbon dioxide inside the car, which can affect driving concentration.
