Heater*
- Parking heater - heats the passenger compartment, if necessary, when the parking climate control's preconditioning is activated.
- Additional heater - heats the passenger compartment and engine, if necessary, during driving.
The heater is fuel-driven and is fitted in the front right-hand wheel housing.
Note
Battery and charging
The heater is powered by the car's starter battery. If the charge level of the starter battery is too low, then the heater is switched off automatically and the driver display shows a message.
Note
Fuel and refuelling
The heater uses fuel from the car's normal fuel tank.
If the car is parked on a steep hill, the front of the car should point downhill to ensure that there is a supply of fuel to the heater.
If the level in the fuel tank is too low then the heater is switched off automatically and the driver display shows a message.
Note
Warning
Fuel which spills out could be ignited. Switch off the fuel-driven heater before starting to refuel.
Check in the driver display that the heater is switched off. This symbol is lit when it is working as a parking heater.
