AUXILIARY HEATER* (Syncro models only)
The auxiliary heater* heats the coolant in the heating circuit and supplies the heat exchanger in the normal heating system
and the additional heat exchanger* for the
passenger compartment heating with heated coolant.
The system is switched off and on or the
switch-
on time preselected by means of a
switch and indicator unit located on the left under the instrument panel.
Air distribution and regulation is done with the controls of the normal heating and
ven
tilation system (see "Ventilation/Heating"
on page 51).
The auxiliary heater can be used with vehicle stationary or when it is moving.
When vehicle is stationary, the heater only runs for a maximum of 30 minutes in order
to avoid draining the battery. It also switches off automatically when a coolant
temperature of 80° C (175° F) is reached.
When the coolant temperature drops below 70° C (158° F) the heater is automatically switched on again. The heater runs on fuel from the vehicle
tank and uses up to half a litre (one quart) per hour. Controls
A - Buttons for setting time and
preselected time
B - Indicator lamp for preselected time
C - Preselected time D - Display
E - Actual time
F - Heater on/off
G - Warning lamp (Heater on)
