AUXILIARY HEATER

Fuel Operated Parking Heater

WARNING
Do not use the fuel operated parking
heater at fuel filling stations or near
sources of combustible vapors, dust
or in enclosed spaces. This could result in
serious personal injury or death.
The system warms the engine and the
vehicle interior, it uses fuel from the vehicle
fuel tank. The system will only operate
when your vehicle is stationary with the
engine switched off.
Used correctly the system will:
• Warm the engine and the vehicle
interior.
• Keep the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevent
condensation.
• Avoid cold starts to assist the engine
to reach operating temperature sooner.
Following a heating cycle, if you do not
start the engine the system will not turn
on the next programmed heating cycle.
Following a heating cycle we recommend
that you drive your vehicle for at least the
same period of time as the heating cycle.
This prevents the vehicle battery from
running out of charge.

We recommend you switch the system on
for approximately 10 minutes every month
to prevent the water pump or heater motor
seizing.
The system will only operate if there is a
minimum of 7.5 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel
in the vehicle fuel tank and the outside air
temperature is below 59°F (15°C). The
system will not operate if the battery
charge level is low.
Note: When the system is operating,
exhaust fumes will come from under your
vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control, heating the vehicle interior will
depend on the heater control settings. See
Climate Control (page 88).
Programming the Fuel Operated
Parking Heater
Use the information display controls on
the steering wheel. See Information
Displays (page 69).
Note: The time and date on your vehicle s
clock must be set correctly. See Clock
(page 75).
Note: You must program the time at least
70 minutes before the time you wish to set.
Note: The programmed time is when you
want your vehicle to be warm and ready to
drive, not when the heater turns on.
