As winter approaches, a warm interior environment has become a rigid need for every car owner. For the owners of the Nissan Qashqai, how to quickly and effectively turn on the heater system to make the cabin quickly warm up is a major concern in winter.
1. Understand the Qashqai heater system
Qashqai's heating system provides hot air from the waste heat of the vehicle's engine coolant. When the engine is running, the coolant absorbs the heat from the engine and then transfers the heat to the air in the cabin through the warm air radiator, thus achieving a warm air effect.
Second, the steps to turn on the warm air
Start the engine: First, you need to start the Qashqai's engine and put the vehicle into normal working condition.
Adjust the temperature setting: On the center console of the vehicle, you can find a thermostat knob or button. Set the temperature to your desired warm air temperature, usually the red area represents the warm air.
Select the wind direction: Adjust the wind direction control button and choose where you want the warm air to blow, such as your face, feet, or both.
Adjust the air volume: Adjust the air volume control knob or button according to your comfort needs, and choose the appropriate wind speed.
Wait for the system to heat up: When the heater system is first activated, the air blowing out may not be hot enough because the coolant is not fully heated. Please wait a few minutes for the system to heat up sufficiently.
3. Precautions
Avoid prolonged use of the inner cycle: Although the internal circulation can quickly increase the temperature in the car, long-term use may cause air circulation and affect ride comfort. It is advisable to switch to the outer circulation at the right time to allow fresh air to enter the cabin.
Keep an eye on the coolant level: Coolant is a key component of a heating system. Regularly checking the coolant level to make sure it is within the normal range can help keep the heating system running well.
Do not turn on the heater immediately when the car is cold: When the vehicle is first started, the engine has not fully warmed up, and turning on the warm air at this time will increase the burden on the engine. It is recommended to wait for the engine temperature to rise before turning on the heater.
4. Common problems and solutions
The warm air is not hot: It may be caused by a lack of coolant, a clogged heater radiator, or a faulty thermostat. In this case, it is recommended to inspect and repair it in time.
The heater system has an odor: It may be caused by prolonged absence or bacterial growth. The problem can be solved by replacing the air conditioner filter, cleaning the air duct, etc.
Mastering the correct use of the Qashqai heater system can not only bring a warm and comfortable driving experience to your winter travel, but also effectively extend the service life of the vehicle.
