Residual engine heat utilization
With the engine switched off, it is possible to continue
to heat or ventilate the interior for a short while. Air
volume and distribution are controlled automatically.
To select:
Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 1
or 0 or remove it altogether.
Press button T. The display shows “REST”.
This function selection will not activate if the battery
level is insufficient.
The function switches off automatically:
if the electronic key in starter switch is turned to
position 2,
after approximately 30 minutes (if residual engine
heat utilization is selected on the optional rear air
conditioner: after approximately 15 minutes),
if the battery voltage drops.
Note:
The battery symbol # will appear in the automatic
climate control display some time before the residual
engine heat utilization is switched off if the battery
voltage drops.
