Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be re-
initialised, see below. Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or ex-
plosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Before use, ensure that the
quantity of fuel remaining is suf-
fi cient. If the fuel tank is at the re-
serve, we strongly advise that you
do not programme the heating.
Do not discard the used bat-
teries, take them to an ap-
proved collection point.
Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnect-
ed or the remote control's battery is
replaced, the remote control must
be reinitialised.

mote control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message

"FAIL" appears. Repeat the operation.

heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger com-
partment. The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.
