WARNINGS
The programmable auxiliary
heater should be switched on
for approximately 10 minutes at least
once a month all year round. This
prevents the water pump and heater
motor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, the coolant
in your vehicle should contain at
least 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Note:
The programmable auxiliary
heater will only operate if there is at
least 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.
Note:
The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:
It is possible that when the
programmable auxiliary heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come
from under the sides of the vehicle.
This is normal.
Note:
On vehicles with manual
climate control the heating of the
vehicle interior is dependent on the
temperature, air distribution and
blower control settings.
The programmable auxiliary heater
operates independently of the vehicle
heater by heating the engine’s
coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank.
Used properly, the programmable
auxiliary 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.
The programmable auxiliary heater
may also be used while the vehicle is
in motion to help the vehicle heater
and warm up the interior more
quickly.
To prevent the battery from
discharging:
•
Once the programmable auxiliary
heater has performed one heating
cycle, the next programmed
heater time will only be carried out
if the vehicle’s engine has been
started in between.
•
After a heating cycle, the vehicle
should be driven for at least the
period of the heating cycle.
Programming the auxiliary
heater
The auxiliary heater is programmed
using the information display. See
Information displays (page 96).
