To turn on the heating in a 10th-generation Civic, as a long-time owner of this model, I must emphasize that letting the engine warm up for a few minutes after starting the vehicle is crucial—otherwise, the heater won’t be effective. I usually start by turning the temperature control dial to the red (hot) zone, then gradually increase the fan speed from a low setting to avoid a blast of cold air. For automatic climate control versions, simply press the AUTO button and set the temperature to around 22°C, and the system will automatically blow warm air and adjust the fan speed. I often recommend using the fresh air (external circulation) mode in cold weather to help defog windows and improve driving safety, especially keeping the system running at red lights to maintain warmth. The heater performs much better once the engine reaches operating temperature, which also prevents excessive battery drain from affecting other systems. Remember to regularly inspect the cabin air filter and heater core—clogged components weaken heating efficiency, so don’t wait until winter to regret neglecting maintenance. Follow these steps for a hassle-free, cost-effective heating experience.
