When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up inside or below the button.
The heating only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes.
If the heating of the motor is switched off with the heating turned on and then
started again within 15 minutes again, the heating is continued. The start of
the time limit for the Auto Off is counted before switching off the engine al-
ready from switching on the heating.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy.
