pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following rea-
sons.
› Reaching the controls safely and quickly.
› A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
› Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
119
Radio remote control
120
Functional requirements of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventila-
tion)
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Additional heating (hereinafter only as a aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The aux. heating functions in connection with the air conditioning system or
Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine. This is not valid for vehicles
with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This warms the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
Depending on the environmental conditions, the automatic on or off of the
heater occurs, which causes the best possible conditions for the engine run-
ning and the interior heating.
For vehicles with petrol engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled at a specialist workshop. 
118Operation

WARNING■The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the heater, then the car should not be
parked in places where the exhaust gases can come into contact with flam- mable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel or simi-
lar - Risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and auto-
matically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the
fuel tank, the auxiliary heating switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside
of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxili-
ary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer peri-
od, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehi-
cle battery.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating switches on the blower B » Fig. 125 on page 112
or » Fig. 126 on page 115 only if it has achieved a coolant temperature of ap-
prox. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operat-
ing problem.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position 
or 
.
Switching on/offFig. 127

The auxiliary heating can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button illuminates » Fig. 127.
by using the radio remote control » page 120.
Manually switching off using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button goes out » Fig. 127,
by using the radio remote control » page 120.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump still runs for a short period.
Automatic switching on/off
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the information display » page 47 (depending on the vehicle equipment):
■ Day of the week - set the current day of the week;
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The
running time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode; 

■Starting time 1 , Starting time 2 , Starting time 3 - for each pre-set time, the
day and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching on the auxiliary
heating. An empty position can be found between Sunday and Monday when
selecting the day. If this empty position is selected, the activation is per-
formed without taking into account the day.
■ Activate - Activate pre-set mode;
■ Deactivate - Deactivate pre-set mode;
■ Factory settings - Restore factory settings
■ Back - Return to main menu
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates automatically at the set time, it is neces-
sary to pre-set a time again.
If the menu item Back is selected or no changes are made on the display for
longer than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time is not

The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote con- trol. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly re-
duce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertically,
with the aerial

pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered with
the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio re-
mote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle
is at least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
