Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Direct switching on/off 88
System settings 89
Radio remote control 89
Changing the battery of the radio remote control 90
Auxiliary heating (parking heating)
The auxiliary heater (parking heater) functions in connection with the air-condi-
tioning system or Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when the engine is switched off to preheat the
vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine).
The engine is also preheated, if the auxiliary heating is switched on when the ve-
hicle is stationary and the engine is switched off. £
