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
extraction 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 suffi -
cient. If you are using the reserve
fuel tank, we strongly advise you
not to use the programmable
heating system.

is again operational.

result in it becoming inactive. If the indicator light on button A
