Auxiliary heater (additional
he at
er)*
Intr
oduction The auxiliary heater runs on fuel from the ve-
hicl
e's

tank and can be used while you are
driving and when the vehicle is stationary.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air condition-
ing controls, with the remote control or by
previously programming a departure time in
the auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment
system.
In winter, with the auxiliary heater switched
on, you can defog the windscreen and leave
it free of ice and snow (if it is a thin layer) be-
fore you start driving.
If the outside temperature is very high, the
vehicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater. WARNING
Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diameter
or any other b

utton battery can cause serious
and even fatal injuries within a very short
time.
● Always keep the remote control, keyrings
with batt
eries, the spare batteries, button
batteries and all other batteries over 20 mm
out of reach of children. ●
If y

ou suspect that someone may have
swallowed a battery, seek immediate medical
attention. WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
c arbon mono x

ide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.
● Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
leav
e it running in enclosed spaces or areas
with no ventilation.
● Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it
switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion. WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater are
extr emely

hot and could cause a fire.
● Always park your vehicle so that no part of
the exhau
st system can come in contact with
easily flammable materials that might be be-
low the vehicle, such as dried grass. CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other temper-
atur e-

sensitive objects close to the air vents.
Food, medicines and other objects sensitive
to heat or cold may be damaged or made un- suitable for use by the air coming from the
vent
s. Note
After switching the engine on with a 12-volt
b att er

y that is heavily discharged or newly
changed or after a jump start some system
settings (such as the time, the date, the per-
sonalised comfort settings and the program-
ming) might be altered or deleted. Check and
correct these settings once the battery is suf-
ficiently charged. Switching on and off the auxiliary

The battery is located beneath a cover on the
b ac
k
of the remote control.
● To open the cover, lift it slightly at the bot-
tom and slide it
down.
● Remove the old battery.
● Insert the new battery. When doing so, take
into acc
ount the polarity and use batteries of
the same type ››› .
● Replace the battery cover by inserting the
t ab
s

Range
The receiver is inside the vehicle. The remote
control, when fitted with new batteries, has a
range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and discharged bat-
teries can considerably reduce the range of
the remote control. CAUTION
● The ra dio fr

equency remote control con-
tains electronic components. Therefore, avoid
getting it wet and exposing it to knocks or di-
rect sunlight.
● The use of inappropriate batteries may
damag
e the radio frequency remote control.
For this reason, always replace the used bat-
tery with another of the same voltage, size
and specifications. For the sake of the environment
● Ple a

se dispose of your used batteries cor-
rectly and with respect for the environment.
● The remote control battery may contain
perch
lorate. Observe the legal provisions re-
garding disposal.

ditioner. It can be set between 10 and 60 mi-
nutes at 10-minute intervals. 
This returns to the main menu.

g on the pr
ofile selected, the en-
gine responds more spontaneously or more
in harmony with the movements of the accel-
erator. Additionally, when the Eco profile is
selected, the Start-Stop function is automati-
cally activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change points are modified to position
them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.
Additionally, the Eco profile activates the in-
ertia function, enabling consumption to be
further reduced.
In manual gearbox vehicles, the Eco profile
causes the gear change recommendation in-
dications that appear on the dash panel to
vary, facilitating more efficient driving.
Address
The power steering varies its driving modes
and adapts to the profile selected, thus offer-
ing the best behaviour for each situation.

In vehicles with Climatronic, this can operate
in Eco mode, especially restricting fuel con-
sumption. Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
