Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and
ventilation)*
Description
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
heats or supplies the interior of the vehicle with fresh air
independent of the engine.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating )
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the
heater or with the Climatic or Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engine is switched off for preheating
of the vehicle as well as while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the
engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) warms up the coolant during the
combustion of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air,
which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the occupant

compartment.
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior
by switching on the blower, if the blower speed is not set to zero, whereby
the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with a vehicle
parked in the sun).

However the coolant does not warm up the engine.
