Battery and fuel
If the battery is not sufficiently charged or the
petrol tank is close to empty, the parking
heater will be switched off. If this is the case,
you will receive a message in the display.
Confirm the message using the READ button
(A).
Important!
Repeated use of the parking heater in
combination with short trips can lead to
battery discharge and thereby difficulty
starting.
If the heater is used regularly, the car
should be driven for the same amount of
time as the heater was used in order to
ensure that the generator is able to
produce enough energy to compensate
for the amount consumed.
Additional heater (diesel)
(certain countries)
Extra heat from the additional heater may be
required in cold weather to reach the correct
temperature in the passenger compartment.
The additional heater starts automatically
when extra heat is required if the engine is
running. It is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when
the engine is switched off.
