Auxiliary heating element (where fitted)

~1min read

This device allows faster heating of the passenger compartment in cold climates and when the engine coolant temperature is low.

The auxiliary heating element is activated automatically when the engine is started, by turning knob A to the last red segment and switching the blower (knob C) on to at least the first speed.

When the comfort temperature is reached, the heating system switches off automatically.

Note: if battery voltage is insufficient, operation of the heating system is disabled.
