Fuel-driven heater (option)
Activating the heater
– Enter the time when the car is to be used.
Press RESET (C) to enter the hours and
minutes.
– Press and hold the RESET button until
the timer is activated.
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.
Direct start
– Use the thumbwheel (B) to scroll to
DIRECT START.
– Press RESET (C) to access the options
ON and OFF.
– Select ON.
The heater will now run for 60 minutes.
Heating of the passenger compartment will
begin as soon as the engine coolant has
reached a temperature of 30 ºC.
Immediate stop of heater
– Use the thumbwheel (B) to scroll to
DIRECT START.
– Press RESET (C) to access the options
ON and OFF.
– Select OFF.
NOTE! The car can be started and driven
while the parking heater is still running.
Battery and fuel
If the battery has insufficient charge or the
fuel level is too low, the parking heater will be
switched off automatically. A message
appears on the information display.
Acknowledge the message by pressing the
READ button (A).
IMPORTANT!
Repeated use of the parking heater
combined with short journeys may
discharge the battery and impair starting.
If the heater is used regularly, the car
must be driven for the same time as the
heater is run to ensure that the alternator
has time to charge the battery.
Setting TIMER 1 and 2
For safety reasons, you can only programme
times for the following 24 hours, not several
days in advance.
– Scroll with the thumbwheel to TIMER.
– Touch RESET to move to the flashing
hours setting.
– Scroll with the thumbwheel to the desired
hour.
Climate control
– Touch RESET to move to the flashing
minutes setting.
– Scroll with the thumbwheel to the desired
minute.

– Press RESET to activate the timer. After
setting TIMER 1, a second start time can
be programmed with TIMER 2. Access
this with the thumbwheel. Set the alter-
native start time in the same way as
TIMER 1.
Messages on the display
When TIMER 1, TIMER 2 and DIRECT
START are activated, the information symbol
on the combined instrument panel illuminates
and an explanatory text appears on the infor-
mation display. The display also indicates
which timer is active when the driver removes
the key from the ignition to leave the car.
Clock/timer
If the car clock is reset after the heater timers
are programmed, the selected times will be
cancelled.
