How long the system will provide heating
depends on
ț the coolant temperature
ț the battery voltage
Regardless of the temperature and air volume
set on the climate control panel, the interior tem-
perature is set to 72°F (22°C) and the blower
runs on low speed to protect the vehicle battery.

The residual heat is automatically turned off:
ț when the ignition is switched on
ț after about 30 minutes
ț if the coolant temperature is too low
ț if the battery voltage drops
