Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine's coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle's engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Program the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must program the times at least
70 minutes in advance of the time you wish
to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 117).
To program the heating times:

Climate Control
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering
wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 79).
2. Select the park heater option.
• The two time functions allow you to
program up to two heating cycles for
each day of the week. These times will
remain stored and the heater will warm
up the vehicle at these times on these
days every week.
• The function once allows you to
program one heating cycle for one
specific day.
• The function Heat now automatically
switches on the heater.
