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.
