How to use the heating system in Vision: There are two large round knobs on the left and right sides of the center console. Turn the left knob to the right to activate the heating system. Rotate the right knob towards the red side to increase the temperature. Remember not to press the AC button, as pressing it will turn on the cooling system. The Geely Vision is a compact sedan with dimensions of 4599 mm in length, 1747 mm in width, and 1482 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615 mm. The Vision is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across all models and does not use the current turbocharged engine. The front suspension of the Vision uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been driving my Vision for several years and have some insights on using the heater. After starting the car, don't rush to turn on the heater. Wait until the temperature gauge needle on the dashboard reaches the middle position - that's when the engine is warm enough. Turn the red temperature knob clockwise to its highest setting. Then press the fan speed button to level 2 or 3 for optimal comfort. Here's the key point: never touch the AC button with the snowflake symbol - that's for summer cooling and completely unnecessary for heating. The most practical airflow setting is the combination of footwell and windshield vents, which keeps your feet warm while preventing fogging. You might get cool air initially, but it'll turn warm within half a minute. On long drives, remember to switch to external air circulation occasionally to refresh the cabin air.

Last time I drove the Vision to the north on a business trip, the -10°C weather made me entirely on the heater to survive. After starting the car, I kept an eye on the coolant temperature gauge and waited until it reached the midline before daring to turn on the heater. The operation was particularly simple: locate the temperature knob on the center console with the red-blue indicator and turn it all the way to the hottest setting. Then press the round fan speed button to adjust it to level 2, and select the mixed mode for blowing air to the feet and the front windshield. The key tip is to never press the AC button, as turning it on would only consume more fuel and affect heating. At first, the air was a bit cold, but after thirty seconds, it became warm. I usually start with the recirculation mode to heat up the cabin faster, then switch to fresh air mode once the cabin is warm. Additionally, when the windshield fogs up, turning on the heater to blow warm air works exceptionally well.

I work in auto repair and often help people adjust the heating system in Vision. After starting the car, you must wait for the coolant temperature to reach normal levels, which takes about five to six minutes. Then check the AC panel: rotate the temperature control knob to the high-temperature zone, then turn on the blower switch to select the fan speed—1st gear is too weak, and 3rd gear is too noisy. Make sure to turn off the AC light! Because the compressor only affects the cooling system. When selecting the airflow direction, it's recommended to direct air to both the footwell and the windshield for both heating and defogging. Two things to note during use: don’t set the fan to high speed when the coolant temperature is low, or you’ll get cold air; once the cabin is warm, switch from recirculation mode back to fresh air mode. If the heating isn’t working, check if the coolant level is sufficient.

Commuting in the Vision every day, I've mastered the heater controls. In winter, don't turn on the heater immediately - wait until the engine warms up first. Operation is simple: turn the temperature knob all the way to the red zone on the right, then press the central fan button to select wind speed. I recommend using the combined footwell/windshield mode for full-body comfort. Important reminder: Don't press the AC button - the compressor isn't needed at all in winter. I usually start with fan speed 2, then switch to speed 1 after warming up to save power. For morning window fogging, direct warm air at the windshield works best - it lasts longer than cold air. Once warmed up, remember to switch to outside air circulation or it gets stuffy.

When I first got my Vision, I spent quite some time figuring out how to use the heater. It boils down to three simple steps: After starting the car, wait for the coolant temperature gauge to reach the middle position, then turn the most prominent temperature knob in the AC panel to the red high-temperature end. Next, press the fan icon button to adjust the airflow speed - starting from level 2 is most appropriate. The key point is not to touch the AC button, as the heater relies entirely on waste heat from the engine. For air direction, choose the mode with the windshield symbol to both defog and warm up. Using recirculation mode warms up faster, then switch to fresh air once the temperature stabilizes. A few seconds of cool air at the beginning is normal until engine heat comes through. On long trips, remember to ventilate periodically.
