Normally I will on the engine. Wait for 10-15 secs while I wear and on my bluetooth ear piece then on the air-con.

Actually it is advisable to wait for the "cold engine" blue watermark on your dashboard to go off before you turn on your air con.

An instruction hard to follow when u have a black car and has been baking under the sun for the whole day....:bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

You can always start the engine, wind down all windows (or open all doors) and set the fan blower speed to high on NON AIR CON mode.

Wait for 3 minutes before entering your car so that the hot air escapes before you drive off.

Hi Clarence

I did that for around 2 weeks when I got my ride in May. Gave up after reading somewhere on the internet that it is not necessary for modern gasoline engine.

So now, I will wait for around 10-20 secs if the blue indicator lights up to allow the engine oil to circulate to lubricate the engine.
