Used correctly, the system will:
• preheat the engine and your vehicle's
interior
• keep the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevent
condensation
• avoid cold starts to assist the engine
to reach operating temperature sooner.
Following a heating cycle, if you do not
start your vehicle’s engine the system will
not turn on the next programmed heating
cycle.
Following a heating cycle and to prevent
your vehicle’s battery from losing charge,
we recommend that you drive your vehicle
for at least the same period of time as the
heating cycle.
We recommend you switch the system on
for approximately 10 minutes every month
to prevent the water pump or heater motor
seizing.
The system will only operate if there is a
minimum of 7.5 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel
in your vehicle’ s fuel tank, and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
system will not operate if the battery
charge level is low.
Note: When the system is operating,
exhaust fumes will come from under your
vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control, heating your vehicle’s interior will
depend on the heater control settings. See
Climate Control (page 73).
Programming the fuel operated
parking heater
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the information display controls
on the steering wheel to enter the main
menu. See Information Displays
(page 63).
2. Select Park Heater.
• The Time 1 and Time 2 functions allow
you to programme up to two heating
cycles for each day of the week. These
times will remain stored and the
system will warm up your vehicle at the
programmed times.
• Selecting Once allows you to
programme one heating cycle for one
specific day.
• Selecting Heat now turns on the
heater immediately.
Note: You must set the time and date on
your vehicle’s clock correctly. See Clock
(page 67).
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you need the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: The programmed times must be set
at least 70 minutes in advance of the time
you wish to set.
