2 Answers
The method to turn on the heating in BAIC New Energy vehicles is: 1. Press the middle button of the rotary knob in the air conditioning control area to turn on the air conditioning; 2. Press the 'heat' button to activate the heating function. BAIC New Energy models include: BAIC New Energy EC3, BAIC New Energy EC5, BAIC New Energy EU, BAIC New Energy ES210, BAIC New Energy EH, etc. Taking the 2015 BAIC New Energy ES210 as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4861mm, width 1856mm, height 1820mm, a wheelbase of 1462mm, a minimum ground clearance of 130mm, and a body weight of 1760kg.
Every time I drive a BAIC New Energy vehicle, I need to adjust the heating, especially in winter. After getting in the car, start the vehicle and wait a few minutes for it to self-check. Then, locate the temperature knob on the central control panel—usually, turning it to the red area on the right will increase the temperature. If the car has an AUTO button, press it to set the temperature for automatic adjustment. The fan speed can be manually adjusted, but avoid setting it too high to save power and reduce noise. Initially, there might not be warm air because electric vehicles use a heater instead of engine waste heat, so it takes longer to warm up—just be patient. It's recommended to preheat the car using the APP before departure or turn on the recirculation mode to speed up heating. Make sure the air conditioning mode is not set to cooling, or your efforts will be in vain. Heating consumes a lot of battery power, affecting range, so plan charging stops for long trips. If the vents occasionally don’t blow warm air, it might be due to a faulty heating element or prolonged cold conditions—in such cases, it’s best to have it checked at a professional shop. Overall, the operation is simple, but seasonal adjustments are necessary for optimal use.
