Auxiliary heater (additional
heater)*
Introduction
The auxiliary heater runs on fuel from the ve-
hicle's tank and can be used while you are
driving and when the vehicle is stationary.
The auxiliary heater can be switched on using
the fast heating button of the air condition-
ing controls, with the remote control or by
previously programming a departure time in
the auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment
system.
In winter, with the auxiliary heater switched
on, you can defog the windscreen and leave
it free of ice and snow (if it is a thin layer) be-
fore you start driving.
If the outside temperature is very high, the
vehicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater.
WARNING
Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diameter
or any other button battery can cause serious
and even fatal injuries within a very short
time.
● Always keep the remote control, keyrings
with batteries, the spare batteries, button
batteries and all other batteries over 20 mm
out of reach of children.
Air conditioning
If you suspect that someone may have
●
swallowed a battery, seek immediate medical
attention.
WARNING
The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-
less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause
people to lose consciousness. It can also
cause death.
Never switch on the auxiliary heater or
●
leave it running in enclosed spaces or areas
with no ventilation.
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
●
that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion.
WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater are
extremely hot and could cause a fire.
● Always park your vehicle so that no part of
the exhaust system can come in contact with
easily flammable materials that might be be-
low the vehicle, such as dried grass.
CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other temper-
ature-sensitive objects close to the air vents.
Food, medicines and other objects sensitive
to heat or cold may be damaged or made un-
suitable for use by the air coming from the
vents.
Note
After switching the engine on with a 12-volt
battery that is heavily discharged or newly
changed or after a jump start some system
settings (such as the time, the date, the per-
sonalised comfort settings and the program-
ming) might be altered or deleted. Check and
correct these settings once the battery is suf-
ficiently charged.
