Driving into the icy carriage, shivering and wanting to turn on the warm air, but also afraid of increasing fuel consumption?
Actually, turning on the heater won't increase fuel consumption at all!
Why doesn't turning on the heater increase fuel consumption?
When the engine is running, a large amount of heat is generated, which is transferred to the coolant. When the heating is turned on, the circulation route of the coolant is changed, and the hot air will enter the car, forming warm air. So, turning on the heater is purely a waste utilization, it won't increase fuel consumption at all!
Turn on the warm air, you must master these skills!The correct approach is to wait for the coolant to reach normal temperature before turning on the warm air, and set the air circulation to external circulation. Wait for 2-3 minutes to exhaust the cold air inside the car before returning to internal circulation.

2. When using warm air for a long time, it is advisable to occasionally open small gaps in the car windows to allow air circulation, ensuring the oxygen content of the air inside the car and keeping the driver's mind clear.
3. In winter, the humidity outside the car is high and there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside, making it easy for the windshield to produce fog. At this time, simply adjust the heating air outlet to blow towards the windshield, and the fog can be removed in 1-2 minutes.
4. It is quite dangerous to turn on the warm air and close the windows tightly while waiting or resting, as it can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning
