Why does the Changan CS55 still feel windy when the heater is turned off?
2 Answers
The reason why the Changan CS55 still feels windy when the heater is turned off is: the heater utilizes the engine's temperature and is not related to the air conditioning. Although the air conditioning heater is turned off, wind can enter the car when driving at high speeds. If the heater position is set, a small amount of warm air will enter the car. The Changan CS55 is an SUV model from Changan Automobile, with body dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The vehicle is equipped with Changan's H-series engine, the BlueCore new 1.5T VVT DOHC all-aluminum engine, with a maximum power of 115kw, a maximum torque of 225nm, and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm.
When I drive my Changan CS55, sometimes I still feel a slight breeze coming out even after turning off the heater, which is quite bothersome. This is usually because the air conditioning system isn't completely shut off, and the fan might still be running at a low speed, causing continuous airflow. Alternatively, it could be because the external circulation mode is on, allowing outside air to enter through the intake. The solution is to check the control panel, make sure the fan knob is turned to the lowest setting, and then press the internal circulation button. Incorrect temperature control settings can also cause this issue, such as accidentally turning on the defrost function or residual heat release. I make it a habit to check the air conditioning status after starting the car to avoid misoperation. If it happens frequently, it might be due to poor sealing of the air ducts or a stuck temperature control valve, which requires professional inspection and repair. While driving, try to stay focused and not let this issue distract you from driving safely.
