Default Smoke in the car?!?

I need help, every now and then when the car is warmed up I get smoke in the car what could it be? Sometimes in the morning when I start the car it smokes from the passenger side at the bottom of the car any ideas.

If you list your car details (year, model, engine size) you'll get more appropriate assistance. If you have the 3.0 V6, your smoke may be coming from the two original IMT O-rings if they have never been upgraded to the newer and better version....

It's your fuel burning heater!!

It warms the cabin quicker than waiting for the engine to heat the water in the system.

If it's smoking it probably needs looking at, possibly the ignition plug needs replacing.

Just press the button that stops air coming into the cabin.

See which fuse operates it then pull it.

Try an Indy for a quote on repairs.
