When to use the heater in a car?
You are right that the heater in internal combustion engine powered vehicles usually uses the waste heat of the engine for heating – that’s why in the summer you can use the heater to get a bit of extra cooling if you need it. During the winter the cooling from the heater may slow down the engine warming up, but only by a tiny bit.
What to do if your car heater is overheating?
The first thing to do is to turn on the heater full blast. The heater uses the coolant to warm the air, thus it will act like a small, second radiator and help to cool down the coolant. The air will be very warm, so on a warm day I recommend rolling down the windows to avoid suffering.
