vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.

The vehicle may require the use of
an auxiliary heat source under
certain cold conditions. This

defrost capability obtained by
running the engine, even if the high
voltage battery is adequately
charged. Under these conditions,
the engine will start and use fuel.
Make sure there is fuel in the tank.
