Precautions in use:
The alarm volumetric movement
sensor may be disturbed by the air-
fl ow from the programmable heating
while in operation.
To avoid a false alarm while using the
programmable heating, it is recom-
mended to deactivate the volumetric
protection. Always switch off the program-
mable heating while refuelling in
order to avoid the risk of fi re or
explosion.
To avoid any risk of intoxication or
asphyxiation, the additional heat-
ing must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area
such as a garage or workshop not
equipped with a system for the ex-
traction of exhaust gases.
Do not park the vehicle over in-
fl ammable materials (e.g. dry
grass, dead leaves or paper) as
this could present a fi re risk.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle’s
fuel tank. Before use, ensure that
the remaining fuel level is suf-
fi cient. If you are on the reserve
fuel level , we strongly advise you
not to use the programmable
heating system.
