Auxiliary heating and venti-
lation
Introduction
With the auxiliary heating and ventilation, it is
possible to heat the vehicle interior in winter
and ventilate it in summer. It can also be used
to demist the windscreen and remove ice or
even a thin layer of snow. The auxiliary heating
is powered by fuel from the vehicle’s tank and
can even continue to operate when the ignition
is switched o. The auxiliary ventilation is pow-
ered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
The auxiliary heater can be controlled via the
My SEAT App.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air conditioning
controls, with the remote control or by previ-
ously programming a departure time in the aux-
iliary heater menu of the infotainment system.
If the outside temperature is very high, the vehi-
cle interior can be ventilated with the engine o
using the auxiliary heater.
Auxiliary heating exhaust system
The exhaust gases generated by the auxiliary
heater are removed via an exhaust pipe fitted
underneath the vehicle. This exhaust pipe must
not be blocked by snow, mud or anything else.
WARNING
The exhaust gases from auxiliary heating
contain carbon monoxide, a toxic, colourless
and odourless gas. Carbon monoxide can
cause loss of consciousness and death.
●
Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
leave it running in enclosed spaces or areas
with no ventilation.
●
Never program the auxiliary heating to
switch on and operate in an enclosed or un-
ventilated space.
WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater are
extremely hot and could cause a fire.
●
Always park your vehicle so that no part
of the exhaust system can come in contact
with easily flammable materials that might
be below the vehicle, such as dried grass.
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.
