The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
•
It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
•
It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
•
It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
•
Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
•
After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Programming the parking heater
Note:
The programmed time is the time
at which you wish the vehicle to be warm
and ready to drive, not the time at which
the heater switches on.
Note:
You must programme the times
at least 70 minutes in advance of the time
you wish to set.
Note:
You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 123).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering
wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.
•
The two time functions allow you to
programme up to two heating cycles
for each day of the week. These times
will remain stored and the heater will
warm up the vehicle at these times on
these days every week.
•
The function once allows you to
programme one heating cycle for one
specific day.
•
The function Heat now automatically
switches on the heater.
