tem can be started immediately or
delayed thanks to its programming
function. With the engine idle or the vehicle
stationary, it is normal to hear a
high-pitched whistling noise and
to notice some smoke/emissions. Digital programmer
The heating system’s programmer is
located on the left-hand side of the
dashboard.
