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 warnin
g 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 the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationar
y, it is normal
to not
ice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a sli
ght emission of smoke and odour.
