The heating control switch for the 2010 LaCrosse is the first button in the air conditioning control area at the bottom of the center console screen. LaCrosse's configuration includes: Standard features such as an openable panoramic sunroof, LED headlights, multi-layer soundproof glass, an 8-inch touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, car networking, and OTA upgrades. The Avenir flagship version also comes with a HUD head-up display, adjustable suspension stiffness, rear multimedia controls, front and rear seat heating, ventilation, massage functions, and rear independent air conditioning. LaCrosse's powertrain: Equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine (model LSY), it delivers a maximum rated power of 174 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m, paired with a 9AT transmission. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7.5 seconds.
I've been driving this car for a while now, and the heater control switch is quite prominent, located right in the center of the dashboard panel, in the middle-right area near the steering wheel. Specifically, there's a knob on that control panel: the left side adjusts fan speed—turning it changes the airflow intensity; the right side is the temperature adjustment knob—turning counterclockwise to the blue zone activates cold air, while turning clockwise to the red zone switches to warm air, and a gentle twist can start the heating mode. If your car is a higher-end model with automatic climate control, look for the Auto button—pressing it will automatically heat the cabin air based on the outside temperature, which is quite convenient. However, if the switch isn't working properly, it might be due to a faulty knob or aged wiring. In such cases, don’t rush to tinker blindly—first check the owner’s manual for backup locations (it’s usually stored in the glove box). During regular maintenance, remember to clean the vent dust to avoid blockages that could affect performance. Safety first—don’t fiddle with the controls while driving.
