How to Use the Heater in Changan 55
2 Answers
To use the heater in the Changan CS55, turn on the air conditioning and then adjust the temperature knob. Rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to control the fan speed: clockwise (increase) and counterclockwise (decrease). Below are the methods for adjusting the air conditioning cooling and heating in the Changan CS55: 1. The fan speed is the main switch. If the fan is turned off, turning on the AC will have no effect. 2. If the fan is on but the AC is off, it will only blow air without cooling, but it can provide heating, which does not consume fuel. 3. If both the fan and AC are on, it will cool the air. If you increase the temperature, warm air will be added to raise the temperature slightly, but cooling will continue. This state of simultaneous cooling and heating is suitable for cold and humid weather, as it helps to increase the temperature while removing humidity.
Using the heater in the Changan CS55 is super easy, just like how effortless it is when I'm driving now. After starting the vehicle, don’t rush—wait for the engine to run for two or three minutes to let the water temperature rise, and then the heating effect will kick in. Then, locate the air conditioning control panel and simply press the AUTO button, and the system will automatically enter smart mode. Turn the temperature knob to your preferred setting, such as around 24°C in winter or lower in summer. If you want the warm air to come faster, manually increase the fan speed, but don’t set it too high to avoid drying out your face uncomfortably. Remember to adjust the air recirculation mode—using the outside air mode can prevent window fogging, while the inside air mode keeps the cabin warmer. The whole operation takes just a minute, and don’t forget to regularly maintain the air filter—replacing it doesn’t cost much. The heater works by transferring engine heat through the coolant, so it’s normal not to have warm air right after a cold start.
