To avoid any risk of intoxica-tion or asphyxiation, the addi-tional heating 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 extraction of exhaust gases.
Do not park the vehicle over infl 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 suffi cient. If you are using the reserve fuel tank, we strongly advise you not to use the pro-grammable heating system.
