Which Button to Press for Heating in Volkswagen Cars?

To turn on the heating in Volkswagen cars, use the temperature adjustment knob. Simply rotate the air conditioning temperature adjustment knob to the heating zone and adjust the fan speed. Volkswagen models include: Magotan, Sagitar, Golf, Jetta, Volkswagen CC, Bora, etc. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865 mm, width 1832 mm, height 1471 mm, wheelbase 2871 mm, and fuel tank capacity 66 liters. The 2020 Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a Volkswagen for almost ten years, and turning on the heater is actually quite simple. After starting the engine, don't rush—wait until the coolant temperature gauge reaches around 90 degrees to get hot air. Locate the large knob with a red mark on the center console, and turn it clockwise to the end for the highest temperature. Then press the button next to it with the fan icon—it controls the airflow, and you can adjust the fan speed depending on how warm you want it. Avoid pressing the button labeled 'AC,' as that's the compressor switch for cooling, which would just waste fuel. For airflow direction, I recommend setting it to blow toward the feet and the front windshield—this keeps your whole body warm and reduces fogging. If you have a newer model with automatic climate control, it's even easier—just press the AUTO button and adjust the temperature knob. Remember, using the heater in winter doesn't consume any extra fuel since it relies on waste heat from the engine, so feel free to use it as much as you like.

The heating system in Volkswagen cars is primarily controlled by three knobs: The largest knob on the left adjusts temperature—remember to turn it towards the red zone. The middle knob with a fan symbol controls airflow intensity; turning it right increases the wind strength. The small knob on the right selects air direction, with the recommended setting being the combination of footwell and windshield positions. Having studied the mechanism, I can confirm that the heating system doesn't require compressor activation—it utilizes heat from the engine coolant circulating through the HVAC system. The key is turning the temperature knob to maximum, then adjusting fan speed as needed. Models with automatic climate control are simpler: press the AUTO button and increase temperature—the system auto-adjusts fan speed. In winter, always wait for engine coolant to warm up first, or you'll get cold air initially. For windshield defogging, simply switch air direction to the defrost position.

Operating the heating in Volkswagen models is quite intuitive. After starting the vehicle, check the coolant temperature gauge and wait until the needle reaches the middle before turning on the heat. Locate the largest knob on the climate control panel, which has red and blue markings—turning it toward the red zone increases the temperature. Then activate the fan knob, which usually has speed settings marked in the middle. There's no need to press the AC button, as that's used for cooling in summer. Some higher-trim models have separate knobs for left and right temperature zones—just turn both toward the heat setting. To warm up faster, increase the fan speed, but avoid exceeding five minutes to prevent window fogging. For convenience, simply press the AUTO button and raise the temperature. After use, remember to reduce the fan speed to minimum before turning off the engine for a quieter next startup.
