Operating the auxiliary heating systemClimate control

The auxiliary heating operates for another
two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
i If you switch off the ignition while imme-
diate heating mode (operating duration
10– 120 minutes) is active, immediate
heating mode is also switched off. The aux-
iliary heating operates for another
two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
If you have set continuous operation as the
operating duration and you switch off the
ignition, the auxiliary heating switches off
automatically after about 15 minutes. If, in
the remaining time, the ignition is switched
on again, continuous operation of the aux-
iliary heating continues.
Setting the preselection time G
WARNING
The auxiliary heating must not be operated if
there are highly flammable substances
nearby or in enclosed spaces without an
extraction system. Make sure that the auxili-
ary heating is not switched on automatically
by the timer in such places. If this possibility
exists, deactivate the respective programmed
time.
You can set three preselection times using
the timer.
Observe that when setting the preselection
time, this does not correspond to the switch-
on time but to the switch-off or departure
time. The auxiliary heating system starts up
automatically and runs for the operating dura-
tion set prior to departure.
Example: For a planned departure time of
7:00 a.m., you should also set the preselec-
tion time to 7:00 a.m. If the operating dura-
tion is preset to 40 minutes, for example, the
auxiliary heating starts up at 6:20 a.m.
If an identical time (time and day) is set in the
preselection memory, only the last time set is
saved. After a malfunction or if the battery has been
disconnected, you must set the preselection
times again. You can find further information
on malfunctions in the "Problems with the
auxiliary heating" section ( Ypage 132).
