The method to turn on the heating in the Lynk & Co 03 is: 1. If manually activating the air conditioning, press the air supply button and directly adjust the temperature; 2. If using automatic air conditioning, manually turn off the AC button first, then adjust the temperature. The Lynk & Co 03 air conditioning is single-cooling, with the heating provided by the residual heat from the engine's radiator. The Lynk & Co 03 is the first sedan product under the Lynk & Co brand and a vehicle built on the CMA basic modular . Its dimensions are 4639mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. In terms of appearance, the front features split-type headlights, combined with a horizontal front grille and lower trim, maintaining the traditional three-box sedan shape. The rear adopts L-shaped taillights with a black decorative panel below integrating the reflectors.

When I first started learning to drive, I immediately fell in love with the Lynk & Co 03's automatic warm air system. After starting the car, I simply press the AUTO button, and the air conditioning automatically adjusts based on the cabin temperature. If I want to warm up faster, I turn the temperature knob to the red zone, say above 28°C, which uses engine heat to warm the air. I adjust the fan speed to medium using the adjacent slider—not too strong to avoid drying out my face. I've learned to wait a few minutes after the car warms up before turning on the heater for better results, as the engine doesn't produce much heat during a cold start. I also make sure to replace the cabin air filter regularly to prevent odors and ensure smooth cooling in summer. During winter traffic jams, this system keeps my hands warm and my mind at ease, making it easy even for a beginner like me to handle.

When I take my kids out, using the warm air in my Lynk & Co 03 is a must. After starting the engine, press the AC button to light up the indicator, then turn the temperature dial to the right into the heat zone—30 degrees is warm enough for the whole family. Adjust the airflow direction towards the feet or windshield to avoid blowing directly on the head and causing drowsiness. It's recommended to start with external circulation to clear fog, then switch to internal circulation for heat retention once the engine warms up a bit—this saves power and improves efficiency. My elderly family members often remind me not to turn it on immediately after starting to avoid inhaling cold air and catching a chill; wait 3-5 minutes for the engine to warm up first. I also regularly check the coolant level to prevent delayed heating or failure, and clean the intake grille during car washes to maintain airflow.

Having driven for years, I know how to handle the heater. In the Lynk & Co 03, after starting the engine, wait for the water temperature to rise, press the AC button to set a warm temperature like 25 degrees, and adjust the fan speed to a comfortable level, not too high. The automatic mode is hassle-free—just press the AUTO button to get it done. The operation is simple, suitable for both beginners and veterans.

When modifying cars, I often study the systems. The Lynk & Co 03's warm air relies on engine waste heat, which is transferred through an exchanger. After starting the engine, when the coolant temperature reaches the standard, turn on the air conditioning and set it to the high-temperature zone. The fan then pushes warm air into the cabin, and the automatic mode intelligently adjusts the temperature without manual intervention. Use the knob or screen to select the heat setting, such as 24°C to 30°C, for efficient and energy-saving operation. Regular of the heat exchanger and coolant ensures stable performance. The automatic function is much more convenient than in older cars.

Commuting in a Lynk & Co 03, the heater is a great companion for winter workdays. After starting the car, patiently wait for the engine to warm up, about one or two minutes, then press AUTO to set the heat to around 28 degrees with moderate airflow directed at the windows for defogging. Avoid distracting yourself by adjusting buttons while driving—safety first. Set the temperature in advance to prevent fumbling. If the cabin feels stuffy, switch to external air circulation for ventilation, and check the system when parked. Clean the cabin air intake weekly to prevent dust buildup, which can affect heater performance and health.
