Auxiliary Heater (Additional Heater) - Seat Ateca 2018 Owner's Manual

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 conditioning
controls, with the remote control or by previ-
ously programming a departure time in the
auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment sys-
tem.
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 ve-
hicle interior can be ventilated with the en-
gine off using the auxiliary heater.
WARNING
Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diame-
ter 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.

Operation
If you suspect that someone may have
●
swallowed a battery, seek immediate med-
ical 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 below the vehicle, such as dried grass.
CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged
or made unsuitable for use by the air com-
ing 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
personalised comfort settings and the pro-
gramming) might be altered or deleted.
Check and correct these settings once the
battery is sufficiently charged.
