Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion. To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction. Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire. Using these two clocks and according to season you can, for example, select one or the other departure time. A message in the instrument panel screen confirms your choice.
Only one programmed or immediate preheating/preventilation can be activated between two starts of the vehicle.
The heating and the ventilation in immediate or programmable mode is not activated when: - the fuel level is too low, - the battery is not sufficiently charged.
