| Golf/Sagitar | Water temperature ≥50℃ | 22-26℃ |
| Passat/Maotan | Water temperature≥60℃ | 24-28℃ |
| ID. series electric vehicles | Heat immediately | 20-24℃ |
2. Related topics of recent hot automobile topics
1.Winter battery life of new energy vehicles: Tesla’s recent price cuts have triggered heated discussions, and Volkswagen ID. series owners are generally concerned about the energy consumption of the PTC heating system.
2.Car air purification: The haze weather in many places in the north has made the PM2.5 filtering function in the car a hot search topic.
3.Intelligent temperature control system: The dual-temperature zone voice control function released by Xpeng G9 has attracted the attention of users of traditional car companies.
| hot topics | Relevance | solution |
|---|---|---|
| Front windshield defogging efficiency | 89% | Turn on external circulation + direct hot air blowing |
| Insufficient heating in the rear row | 76% | Check the rear exhaust air vent switch |
| Air conditioning odor treatment | 92% | Replace air conditioning filter element + pipe cleaning |
3. Precautions for use
1.Warm-up tips: In cold areas, it is recommended to start remotely (relevant configuration required), or idle for 3-5 minutes to warm up.
2.Energy saving suggestions: Each 1°C decrease in temperature setting can save approximately 5% of energy consumption.
3.health tips: Long-term use of the internal circulation may lead to an increase in carbon dioxide concentration. It is recommended to switch to the external circulation for 5 minutes every hour.
4. Special operations for different models
| car model | special features | Operation mode |
|---|---|---|
| Tiguan L | Three-zone independent air conditioning | Central control screen → air conditioner → zone control |

5. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the hot air have to wait for the water temperature to rise?
A: Traditional fuel vehicles rely on engine coolant heat, while electric vehicles use PTC heaters for instant heating.
Q: How to set heating for automatic air conditioner?
A: Just press the "AUTO" button to directly increase the temperature, and the system will automatically switch between hot and cold modes.
Q: What should I do if the air outlet temperature is inconsistent?
A: It may be a coolant circulation problem. It is recommended to check the thermostat or drain the air conditioning system.
Through the above structured guidance, I believe you can better master the heating skills of Volkswagen models. When driving in winter, rational use of the air conditioning system can not only improve comfort, but also ensure driving safety. It is recommended to maintain the air conditioning system regularly and replace the filter to maintain optimal working condition.
