Automatic on / off ▶ Over a set and activated preset time in the MAXI DOTDisplay.
▶ According to the environmental conditions.
If the auxiliary heating has not already been switched off, it switches off auto-
matically after the running time set in the

menu.
Switching off the auxiliary heating takes place automatically when there is a
lack of fuel (warning light in the instrument cluster lights up).
After switching off the system, the coolant pump and the aux. heating will
continue running a little while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the
heating.
For vehicles with gasoline engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled in a specialist workshop.
