Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only operate
if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of
fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery is low.
Note: The heating depends on the outside
air temperature.
Note: When the parking heater is activated,
exhaust fumes may come from under the
sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine ’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits: •
It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle ’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Programming the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 122).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuel operated heater (depending
on country)
WARNING
The fuel operated heater must not
be operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The fuel operated heater aids in warming
the engine and the vehicle interior on
vehicles with a diesel engine. It is switched
on or off automatically depending on the
outside air temperature and the coolant
temperature, unless you have deactivated
it.
To deactivate the fuel operated heater:
1. Highlight Aux. Heater and press the
OK button. A cross appears in the box
when the heater is activated.
Diesel auxiliary heater (depending
on country)
The diesel auxiliary heater (PTC electrical
heater) aids in warming the engine and the
vehicle interior on vehicles with a diesel
engine. It is switched on or off
automatically depending on the outside
air temperature, the coolant temperature
and the alternator load.

POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position
that allows the airbag to achieve its
optimum effect. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
•
sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.
• adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.
• keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
• hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. •
bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• position the shoulder strap of the seat
belt over the centre of your shoulder
and position the lap strap tightly across
your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

WARNINGS
When folding or unfolding the seats,
take care not to get your fingers
caught between the seatback and
seat frame. Rock the seat backwards and
forwards after moving to make sure
that it is fully engaged in its catch.
Make sure the rear of the seat is free
from obstruction when moving it
rearwards.
When folding the seatbacks up,
make sure that the belts are visible
to an occupant and not caught
behind the seat. Note:
Fully lower the head restraint when

Second row seats - C-MAX
Comfort seat system WARNING
Do not slide the outboard seats
rearwards into the comfort position
if the centre seat is folded forwards.
There is a risk of injury in the event of an
accident or if the centre seat falls back
down. CAUTION
Do not fold the seatback forward
when the seat is fully to the rear in the
comfort position. Slide the seat fully
forwards. The centre seat can be folded up and the
outboard seats moved rearwards and
slightly inboard to provide more leg and
shoulder room for the rear passengers. 1. Remove the luggage cover. See
Luggage Covers (page 163). 2. Pull the release lever on the underside
of the seat. Note:
The complete seat will move
rearwards as the seat cushion is folded up.
