General information about heaters
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set with two different start times us-
ing
TIMER 1 and TIMER 2. Here, start time
refers to the time the car is heated and ready.
The car’s electronic system calculates when
heating should be started based on the out-
side temperature. The heater is not run if the
outdoor temperature exceeds 25
C. At tem-
peratures of –10
C and below, the maximum
running time of the parking heater is
60 minutes.
Parking on a hill
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of
the car should point downhill to ensure that
there is a supply of fuel to the parking
heater.
