In the AM when the temps here can be as low as the CHILLY and DAMP 50 degrees, I do not run the heater and keep the temp selector to the cold setting so as to keep as much heat in the coolant as possible. Ah, winter in Cali is tough! ... later in my commute when the engine is at running temp, I switch to the selector to the red temps and sometimes run the heater fan on low when climbing steep hills to keep the coolant temp above 170s and under 200.
