Heating the car up!

I have the cargo net in the boot and make sure I use it to stop things falling over in the boot Wouldn't have helped with your fish pong though...

Put it on HI and recirculate

Okay here's another question, what exactly is the recirculate function useful for?

Hello all,

Does anyone have any recommendations on the quickest way to 'warm' up the car on those cold winter mornings? I have a DS3 DSport+, and it seems fairly slow at producing hot air compared to some of my previous cars and company vehicles. I have it set to auto at 21/22 pretty much all the time, although usually raise it to 24/25 on cold mornings.

Any suggestions on the best way to warm the car up would be appreciated, I'm fed up of being freezing for the first half of my journey to work.

Send the Mrs out to warm it up then get her to text you when its at temp.........I would love to try this but not sure if I could handle the abuse from mine

It recirculates the air from inside the car instead of pulling air in from outside, I think it is supposed to warm up quicker

Problem I find is that if it's cold there's a high chance that the windscreen is misted too so the last thing you'd want to do is recirculate the damp air inside the car right? I'm guessing it's a feature best used in summer, but I've never really understood when to use it.

But if you keep the air con on that will take the moisture out of the air

That's true. I'm pretty sure I've used my air-con more in the winter than I did in the summer <3 the British weather.

Shutting out the fumes when you get stuck in traffic behind a filthy, stinky diesel!
