It is appropriate to set the car air conditioner heating to around 22 to 26 degrees. The method to turn on the heating is: 1. After starting the vehicle, turn off the AC button; 2. Wait until the water temperature rises to the normal value, then turn on the air conditioner heating. The working principle of the car air conditioner heating is: when the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the dissipated heat is sent into the car through a fan to form warm air. The functions of the car air conditioner are: 1. To adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to an optimal state; 2. To provide a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reduce travel fatigue.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I usually set my car's heating system between 20 to 22 degrees Celsius. This temperature range feels most comfortable - neither stuffy nor chilly inside the cabin. In winter, don't rush to turn up the heat immediately after starting the car. Wait until the engine warms up before adjusting to around 20 degrees, which prevents skin dryness and itching. During summer when using the heater, I typically set it below 22 degrees to save some fuel. Remember to adjust according to outdoor temperatures - for instance, set it 2 degrees higher when it's below freezing. Excessive heat can cause dizziness and affect driving concentration.
