So before you know what the problem is, you have to know how it works on your Kia Picanto 2, or at least the main lines. The heating uses the engine temperature to raise the temperature of the personalised tour, then very often from the cooling system. So this system has several functions. Also, the fan system, so that the heat comes into the cabin also has a double use. It's the ventilateur which emits heat when the vehicle is running at low speed or not at all, then it is the speed of your automobile which will send the heat once you are driving at high speed. It's pretty clever isn't it?
Recurring heating problems on a Kia Picanto 2
Broken thermostat
The concept is elementary, in the case where the thermostat which regulates the temperature does not really measure the temperature of the cooling circuit, the whole of the latter is impacted.
