Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be used when stationary, when the en-

gine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heat-
ing phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid for
vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger compart-
ment (as long as the blower fan speed is not set to zero).
WARNING
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must never be operated in closed rooms
■
(e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must not be allowed to run during refu-
■

elling – risk of fire.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the un-
■
derside of the vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating
(aux. heating), do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases
can come into contact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily
inflammable substances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION

Running auxiliary heating (aux. heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle tank

and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present
in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches off.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating), which is located on the
■
underside of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be
blocked.
If the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
■
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
