Stationary air conditioning
WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it switches itself on and is running in
an enclosed space or an area with no ven-
tilation. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and
colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can
cause people to lose consciousness. It can
also cause death.
Usage instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
below the vehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust fumes
must be able to exit freely. The emissions gen-
erated by the auxiliary heater are removed via
an exhaust pipe tted underneath the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature, the warm air is rst
directed at the windscreen and then to the rest
of the vehicle interior through the air vents.
Directing the vents – towards the windows for
example – can aect air distribution.
When the auxiliary heater is not switched on
●
The auxiliary heater requires about as much
power as the dipped beam headlights. If the
12-volt battery charge is too low, the auxiliary
heater switches o automatically and cannot
be switched on. This avoids problems when
starting the engine.
●
The heating must be activated every time
you want to set o. Similarly, the departure
time must reactivate each time.
●
The control lamp (fuel level indicator)
lights up.
Note
●
Noises will be heard while the auxiliary
heater is running.
●
When the air humidity is high and the in-
side temperature low, condensation from the
heating and ventilating system may evapo-
rate when the auxiliary heater is switched
on. In this case, steam may be released from
underneath the vehicle. This does not mean
that there is a vehicle malfunction.
●
If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a
slope, the operation of the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is low
(just above the reserve level).
●
If the auxiliary heater is used a number
of times for a long period of time, the 12-
volt battery will lose its charge. To recharge
the battery, the vehicle must be driven for a
number of kilometres from time to time. As
a guideline: the journey should last approxi-
mately as long as the heater was connected.
●
At temperatures below +5°C (+41°F), the
auxiliary heater may switch itself on auto-
matically when the engine is switched on.
The auxiliary heater is switched o again af-
ter a certain time.
Stationary air condition-
ing
Introduction
✓ Valid for: hybrid vehicles.
With the stationary air conditioning you can
cool, ventilate and heat the passenger com-
partment while the vehicle is parked. In winter,
you can also demist the windscreen and leave
it free of ice and snow (if the layer is thin).
The stationary air conditioning is powered
through a socket or the vehicle’s high voltage
battery. The stationary air conditioning can
be programmed and controlled in the infotain-
ment system or via the My CUPRA App.
You can nd information about the app, its
availability and the necessary requirements for
its use, as well as compatible terminals, on the
Internet ›››page268.
NOTICE
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged or
made unsuitable for use by the air coming
from the vents.
