Where is the heating switch on the Geely Emgrand?

Geely Emgrand's heating switch is located on the air conditioning control panel on the center console. First, turn the temperature control knob on the right to the red zone, then press the AUTO button on the panel to activate the heating. Do not turn on the heating immediately after starting the car; wait for about 3 minutes until the water temperature rises before activating it, and switch to the internal circulation mode for faster cabin warming. The Geely Emgrand (abbreviated as Emgrand) is one of the three major sub-brands launched by Geely Auto, with the EC718 and EC718RV being the first B-segment sedan models (in both sedan and hatchback versions) from Geely. In terms of body dimensions, the Geely Emgrand measures 4631mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height.
As a long-time Emgrand owner, I remember finding the heater controls quite simple from the first use. The Emgrand's heater switch isn't a separate button - it's actually the large silver knob on the central AC control panel. Rotating toward the red marking delivers warm air, while turning toward blue gives cold air. My routine is to start the engine first, wait until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the midpoint, then rotate the knob to the red zone while adjusting fan speed with the adjacent buttons - no need to press the AC button. When dealing with morning windshield fogging, I adjust the vents to direct airflow toward the glass. Remember to change the cabin air filter regularly, otherwise the heater may develop a musty smell. For automatic climate control versions, simply press AUTO to adjust temperature - much more convenient.
Just helped a friend adjust the heating system in their Emgrand a couple of days ago - super practical. See that temperature knob with red/blue markings near the driver's side on the dashboard? That's the control. Turn clockwise to the red zone for heat - no extra buttons needed. Many people don't realize how car heating works - it utilizes engine waste heat, so wait until coolant warms up after winter startup for effectiveness. If heat fails long-term, check coolant levels. Adjust vent direction vertically, and use external circulation for windshield defrosting best. Remote starting with pre-activated heating is incredibly comfortable.
The heating control of the Emgrand is designed with great user-friendliness. There's a dual-color knob in the central AC control area—turning it to red activates the heating mode, and the digital display ensures precise temperature adjustment. I recommend adjusting the fan speed with the airflow buttons, while the MAX button can quickly raise the temperature. Turning off the AC when using the heater saves fuel. If there's an odd smell from the AC, it might indicate that the evaporator needs cleaning. The knob's position varies slightly across different model years, but it's always located in the main control area of the AC panel.
