The programmable auxiliaryheater should be switched onfor approximately 10 minutes at leastonce a month all year round. Thisprevents the water pump and heatermotor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, the coolantin your vehicle should contain atleast 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Note:The programmable auxiliaryheater will only operate if there is atleast 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.
Note:The heating depends on theoutside air temperature.
Note:It is possible that when theprogrammable auxiliary heater isactivated, exhaust fumes may comefrom under the sides of the vehicle.This is normal.
Note:On vehicles with manualclimate control the heating of thevehicle interior is dependent on thetemperature, air distribution andblower control settings.
The programmable auxiliary heateroperates independently of the vehicleheater by heating the engine’scoolant circuit. It is fed from thevehicle fuel tank.
Used properly, the programmableauxiliary heater provides the followingbenefits:
•It preheats the interior of thevehicle.
•It keeps the windows clear of icein the event of frost and preventscondensation.
•It avoids cold starts and allows theengine to reach operatingtemperature sooner.
The programmable auxiliary heatermay also be used while the vehicle isin motion to help the vehicle heaterand warm up the interior morequickly.
To prevent the battery fromdischarging:
•Once the programmable auxiliaryheater has performed one heatingcycle, the next programmedheater time will only be carried outif the vehicle’s engine has beenstarted in between.
•After a heating cycle, the vehicleshould be driven for at least theperiod of the heating cycle.
Programming the auxiliaryheater
The auxiliary heater is programmedusing the information display. SeeInformation displays (page 96).
