Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
108
Radio remote control
109
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventilation),
hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
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).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be used when stationary, when the en- gine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heat-
ing phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid for
vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger compart-
ment (as long as the blower fan speed
B
» Fig. 107 on page 100 or » Fig. 108 on
page 103 is not set to zero).
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must never be operated in closed rooms
(e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must not be allowed to run during refu-
elling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the un-
derside of the vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating
(aux. heating), do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases
can come into contact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily
inflammable substances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ Running auxiliary heating (aux. heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle tank
and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. 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 (aux. heating) is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches on the blower B » Fig. 107 on
page 100 or » Fig. 108 on page 103 only if it has achieved a coolant temperature
of approx. 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 operating problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or leaves)
to ensure that the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) operates properly.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the auxili-
ary 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 position.
It is recommended to put the air flow in the position  or .

part of the air conditioning/Climatronic
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 107.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Clima-
tronic. The warning light in the button lights up » Fig. 109;
by using the radio remote control » page 109.
Manually switching off
using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Clima-
tronic. The warning light in the button goes out » Fig. 109;
by using the radio remote control » page 109.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump 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 28 (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 run-
ning 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
and ventilation. 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 setting - Restore factory setting;
■ 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 (aux. heating) automatically activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a time again.
If the menu item Back is selected or no changes are made on the display for lon-
ger than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time is not activa-
ted.
The system switches itself off at the end of the running time set under the menu item Running time .

The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. 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 hun-
dred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather
conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
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 remote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehi- cle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Bluetooth ®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile,
the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication with the
network is only enabled by the hands-free system via the vehicle's external aerial. In the telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains active. In this case,
you can only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the hands-free system, de- activate the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergency number 112 (only valid
in some countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile,
the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna to com-
municate with the GSM network. 
