Fuel-driven auxiliary heater* (diesel)

Auxiliary heater (diesel)
In diesel-engined cars the auxiliary heater may
be required for achieving the correct tempera-
ture in the engine and passenger compartment
during cold weather.
The heater starts automatically when extra
03
heat is required when the engine is running.
The heater is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when the
engine is switched off.
NOTE
The auxiliary heater cannot be switched on
or off manually but is only controlled by the
car's electronics.
When the auxiliary heater is active there may
be smoke from underneath the car, which is
perfectly normal.
