Should the AC be turned on for heating in winter?

In winter, there is no need to turn on the AC for heating because the working principle of the car heating system is different from that of cooling. The car heating system uses the heat emitted from the exhaust pipe and radiator to warm the air, which is then blown into the cabin by the fan, without the need to activate the compressor. The AC button in the car is for the cooling function of the air conditioning system. Pressing it activates the compressor, and in some models, an indicator light on the button will illuminate, while others may display a prompt on the central control screen. The car air conditioning system is designed to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle cabin to a comfortable state, providing a pleasant riding environment for passengers.
