This article is about car heaters. For environmental heat sources, see Heat source.
A heater is an item forming part of a vehicle. It is used to heat and cool the vehicle.
Usage
Temperature control
The heater acts as the vehicle's air-conditioning system, allowing the user to control the temperature inside the vehicle. To do this, click on the three wavy lines on the dashboard, or use the radial menu if playing with a controller or gamepad. This will open a menu that you can use to adjust controls as needed. The temperature can take some time to actually change however, so it might be a good idea to immediately turn it on if a hot or cool vehicle is needed quickly.
Remember to turn it off once exiting the vehicle, as it is considered part of the electrical system and will thus drain the battery if the engine is off.
Condition
The heater cannot be repaired or removed by any means, effectively making the condition it spawns with absolute and unchangeable. However, low condition heaters do not seem to heat or cool the vehicle less effectively than high condition heaters.
