Replacing the battery
The remote control is powered by a 6 V-28L battery cell, which is included.
Information appears on the screen when this battery should be replaced.
Unclip the casing and replace the battery.
The remote control must then be re-initialised, as described on this page.
Do not discard old batteries; take them to an approved recycling point.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling in o r d e r t o a v o i d t h e r i s k o f fi r e o r explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication or asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not be used, even for a short time, in an enclosed space such as a garage, or workshop without exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over i n fl a m m a b l e m a t e r i a l s ( d r y grass, dead leaves, papers…), a s t h e r e i s a r i s k o f fi r e .
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel tank. Before using it, ensure t h a t t h e r e i s s u f fi c i e n t f u e l i n t h e tank. If the low fuel warning lamp is on we strongly recommend that you do not programme the heating to come on.
P R O G R A M M A B L E H E A T I N G
If the battery is disconnected or replaced, the remote control must be re-initialised.
A f t e r s w i t c h i n g o n , w i t h i n fi v eseconds press button 4 (OFF) for 1 second.
If the operation is successful, the "OK" message appears in the remote control screen.
If not, the "FAIL" message appears. Repeat the procedure.
As a secondary advantage, use of your programmable heating sys-tem allows it to be used to pre-heat the passenger compartment.
