The autumn in the north is extremely cold this year, especially in the morning and evening. You already need to turn on the heater after getting in the car, but when it comes to car heaters, everyone can really use it correctly in the car. Warm air? 1. Turn on the heater, and fuel consumption will definitely increase!
The principles of warm air and cold air are actually different. Warm air is formed by engine heat dissipation. There is a small fan in the engine compartment to blow the heat collected by the cooling system into the car. If you don't turn on the heater, the heat will also be discharged out of the car. So don’t freeze yourself stupidly in winter. The warm air in the car is really just waste utilization and will not increase any fuel consumption!
2. Does the AC button need to be turned on for heating?
When using the air conditioner in summer, be sure to turn on the AC button first. What about warm air? In fact, the heater only uses the heat circulation inside the car, and there is no need to start the compressor at all, so everyone must remember that to turn on the heater, you only need to adjust the air conditioning button, and never touch the AC switch.
3. Turn on the heater as soon as you start it?
The north wind is blowing, do you want to turn on the heater to warm yourself as soon as you enter the car? In fact, this is wrong, because the temperature of the water tank is still relatively low after the car has just been started. Turning on the heater is not only not conducive to increasing the temperature inside the car, but also increases the burden on the engine, causing the engine to heat up slower. So when is the best time to turn on the heater? When the water temperature pointer reaches the middle position, you can use warm air. It is recommended to use external circulation first to discharge the cold air in the car, and then switch to internal circulation after 3-5 minutes.
4. Turn off the heater when parking for a long time
Many drivers like to turn on the heater when waiting for passengers to get on the roadside. But this is very dangerous, and it is easy to be poisoned by carbon monoxide, especially sleeping in the car with the heater on. This is a very dangerous behavior! It is recommended that if the driver turns on the heater for a long time, he or she can leave the car window slightly exposed, so as to keep warm and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
5. Do not turn on the AC if the car windows are foggy
If it rains or snows, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, and the front windshield is prone to fog. Do not turn on the AC button at this time, just adjust the direction of the warm air to blow the front windshield, and the fog can be easily removed in a few minutes.
