The vehicle is available, on request,
with two different independent heaters:
one fully automatic, the other which
can be programmed.
AUTOMATIC VERSION
The additional heater is turned on in
automatic mode when the engine

The additional heater operates
completely independently of engine
operation and allows the following:
heating the passenger compartment
with the engine off
defrosting the windows;
heat the engine coolant and then the
engine itself prior to starting.
The system consists of:
a diesel burner for heating the water
with an exhaust silencer for the
combustion gases;
a metering pump connected to the
reservoir pipes for supplying the burner;
a heat exchanger connected to the
engine cooling system pipes;
a control unit connected to the
passenger compartment heating/
ventilation system to allow automatic
operation;
an electronic control unit for
controlling and adjusting the built-in
burner;
a digital timer fig. 63 for turning the
heater on manually or for programming
its turn-on time.IMPORTANT The heater is equipped
with a thermal limiter that cuts off
combustion in the case of overheating
due to insufficient coolant/coolant
leaks. In this case, after repairing the
fault in the cooling system and/or
topping up the fluid, press the program
selection button before turning the
heater back on.
