Fuel-driven heater (option)
General
The electrical system must be "awakened"
before the parking heater can be pro-
grammed.
This is most easily done by:
• pressing the READ button or
• pressing the main beam flash or
• turning on the ignition.
The parking heater can be started immedi-
ately or set with two different start times
using TIMER 1 and TIMER 2. Start time
refers to the time the car should be heated
and ready.
The car’s electronic system calculates when
heating should be started based on the out-
side temperature. If the outside temperature
exceeds 25 °C, the heater does not switch
on. At temperatures of –10 °C and below, the
maximum running time of the parking heater
is 60 minutes.
If the parking heater does not start despite
repeated attempts, a message is shown in
the display. Contact an authorised Volvo
workshop.
Messages in the display
Once the settings for TIMER 1, TIMER 2 and
Direct Start are activated, the amber warning
symbol in the combined instrument panel
lights and explanatory text is shown in the
display.
When you leave the car, you will receive a
message regarding the current settings of
the system.

Parking on a hill
If you park your car on a steep incline, the
front of the car should be facing up the slope
to ensure the supply of fuel to the parking
heater.
Car clock/timer
For safety reasons, all timer settings will be
cleared if the car clock is reset after timer set-
tings have been made.
WARNING!
• Switch off the fuel-driven heater before
refuelling. Fuel that has been spilled on
the ground could be ignited by the
exhaust gases.
• Check the information display to ensure
the heater is off (PARK HEAT ON is
shown in the display when the parking
heater is active).
WARNING!
The car must be outdoors when the petrol
or diesel heater is used.
