Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even
for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
th
ere is a risk of fire. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this
(for example in the case of painting in
an oven
) could damage the components of
th
e electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied b
y the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low
fuel warning lamp
i
s not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING


Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate s
ystem
which heats the Diesel en
gine hot coolant
loop to make starting easier.
It improves the demistin
g and defrosting
performance. Vehicles fitted with an HDi
engine may be fitted with a heater. When
t
he engine is at idle or the vehicle is
stationary, it is normal to notice a high-
pitched whistling noise and a slight emission
of smoke and odour.

ave the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.
