DIRECT START.

switched off automatically. A message
appears on the information display.
Acknowledge the message by pressing the
READ button (A).
Important!
Repeated use of the parking heater
combined with short journeys may
discharge the battery and impair starting.
If the heater is used regularly, the car
must be driven for the same as the heater
is run to ensure that the alternator has
time to charge the battery.
