Which button is for the car's heater?

To turn on the car heater, press the AUTO button. Heater switch button: The heater switch is either a thermometer or a button with blue and red areas on either side. The red area is for heating, and the blue area is for cooling. By turning the knob, the red area gradually increases the temperature, while the blue area decreases it. Steps to turn on the heater: After starting the car, wait about 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach normal levels before turning on the heater. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation. Switch to the heating mode, which may be indicated by a red area or a sun symbol on some cars. Do not turn on the air conditioning (do not press the AC button), as the heater uses the car's own heat cycle to save energy. Adjust the air conditioning to a suitable level and set the air vent direction—warm air is usually directed forward and toward the feet, while cold air is typically directed forward.

Finding the heater button in a car is quite simple. Just look at the air conditioning control panel—usually, it's the rotary knob with a bit of red color or marked with temperature numbers. Turn it to the right to activate the warm air. Like me, after driving for over a decade, I was confused at first too, with too many buttons to understand. Pressing the AUTO button makes it even easier, as the system automatically adjusts the temperature to blow warm air. However, you need to wait for the engine to warm up first; no air comes out during a cold start. Setting the temperature around 23°C is comfortable—don’t set it too high to save power. The fan button can also adjust the airflow speed for quicker cabin heating. A common winter issue is blocked air vents, so clean them occasionally to ensure warm air flows smoothly. Overall, the operation isn’t difficult—newcomers will get the hang of it after a few tries, avoiding freezing on long trips.

The car's heating system is primarily controlled by the temperature adjustment knob. Look for the rotary knob on the panel, usually marked with blue and red indicators. Turning it towards the red end increases the temperature. I prefer using the AUTO mode to activate the automatic air conditioning, which automatically delivers warm air based on the set temperature. It's typically located in the center of the dashboard, near the radio. Set a comfortable temperature, such as 20-25 degrees, as excessive heat is unnecessary. The fan button helps increase airflow, allowing warm air to circulate faster. Button layouts may vary between vehicles, with some being simpler and others featuring digital displays. When operating, pay attention to the vehicle's temperature gauge to ensure the engine is properly warmed up. Prolonged disuse of the heating system may lead to pipe rusting, so it's advisable to inspect the system seasonally to ensure smooth operation during winter.

Looking for the heater button? The temperature knob on the AC panel is the key. Turn it towards the red dot to activate warm air. Pressing the AUTO button also automatically delivers warm air. When the car is cold, wait a few minutes for the air to blow out—don't rush. Adjusting the vent positions ensures more even heating throughout the cabin.
