Make this winter not so cold, the car experience of winter car explorers!

The warm winter in Jiangnan in the past month or two has made me a little bit carried away. A small cotton-padded jacket and short sleeves are a must-have when going out every day. However, the sudden heavy snowfall recently made me feel a little bit like winter, but I still wear a small cotton-padded jacket and short sleeves arrogantly. Then, I caught a cold and had a fever, so I took medicine and IV drips for a while. It seems that I am getting old. I think back then I was strong and strong without wearing a cotton-padded jacket, hahaha. ?Let’s get to the point, this should be the first winter since I bought a car. When I bought it in March last year, the weather was actually very warm. For the first time, I discovered that driving in winter is a very pleasant thing, much more pleasant than in summer. After all, I can still carry it on a small electric donkey in the summer, but I might freeze like a dog on a small electric donkey this winter. There is a trolley in winter, so it is much warmer when I go out, and my waist is straighter when I pick up my wife, haha. So let’s talk about the feeling of driving in this winter. The biggest two words are warmth. I bought the Explorer Expansion Edition and used the seat heating for the first time. I have never sat in it before and I don’t know. Now I feel that seat heating is a magic tool in winter, because it comes faster than the air conditioning warm air. And I always feel that electric heating is more comfortable than air conditioning. Both the driver and passenger have it, and the butt G is warm and refreshing. Of course, some veterans will also say that the Explorer can remotely start the air conditioning and heating in advance, but the embarrassing thing is that there is no signal amplifier in the basement of my community. After entering the basement, I was isolated from the outside world and my mobile phone had no signal at all. SO, this remote start function is basically not of much use to me.

In addition, I would like to talk about the variable air intake grille function of the Explorer. This is probably the first time I noticed this thing. When I woke up in the morning, I looked inside the central grille and saw that the shutter-like thing was completely closed. I was also curious about how to get air in there. Later, I checked that this thing should be turned off when the weather is cold, ensuring that it will be faster to warm up the car when I start it cold in the morning.

It’s really cold, but it’s still warm in the car.

It’s minus 2 degrees today, which is really cold for people in the south who don’t have heating. We all rely on faith to resist the cold. If we shout a few more words of "hiss, hiss, hiss," the cold will stop.

Is this it, a variable air intake grille? In the morning it was completely closed.

To give you a close-up, I think the biggest benefit may not be that it warms up the car quickly, but that it can help me block mosquitoes or something. However, I don’t know exactly when it will be turned on and when it will be turned off.

After getting in the car and starting the car, turn on the seat heating first, usually put away the sundries and fasten the seat belt and then set off. Regarding the debate about heating the car, I personally think that you can wait a minute or two for the engine oil to lubricate before setting off. . Drive slowly on the road, don't step on the accelerator, and wait until the water temperature comes up before you feel free to do so.

The heated seats are so comfortable that I am not used to it in other cars without this function, because if it is a leather seat in the winter, it will feel very cold as soon as I sit on it.

Heating generally takes about two minutes to gradually feel the temperature, which is slightly faster than air conditioning at this time. After the air-conditioning hot air is fully turned on, the seat heating can be turned off, otherwise you will definitely be sweating profusely.

Three gears, the largest one lights up three lights.

There is also a button here to maximize storage. In fact, press it to default to the maximum air volume, and then it will automatically adjust to blow against the front glass. There is a little trick if you want to defog faster. Just press the ac switch, because after the ac is turned on, the air coming out of the compressor is drier and the defogging effect is better.

Heating and defogging the rear window will actually heat the rearview mirror. This is why there is no rearview mirror heating button in the glass lifting area. It is written in the manual, and I was very confused at first. Why can't I find the rearview mirror heating switch?

The water temperature of the Explorer comes up relatively quickly, and it is almost up after driving two or three kilometers. At this time, the air conditioner can also be used in conjunction.

By the way, in winter, it is best for everyone to check the tire pressure, re-inflate and re-learn memory, otherwise there will be a lot of difference between winter and summer.

The fuel consumption is over 11 liters, which is not bad, neither too high nor too low.

Forgot about this guy, the back row of the Explorer is equipped with air-conditioning outlets as standard in the entire series, and the air volume is pretty good. The disadvantage is that it cannot be opened or closed, only the wind direction can be adjusted.

Finally, the New Year is almost here, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year. Please pay attention to safety when traveling during the New Year and check the condition of your vehicle.
