the outside temperature the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air

windows, for example, the form of air distribu-
tion may be affected.

higher if the heating or air conditioner tem-
perature control is set to maximum before

Depending on the engine, vehicles with auxili-
ary heater may be fitted with a second bat-
tery in the luggage compartment that is re-
sponsible for powering the auxiliary heater. When will the auxiliary heater will not
