General notes
Only vehicles with dual-zone automatic climate
control have the residual heat function.
Once the engine is switched off, it is possible to
make use of the residual heat of the engine to
continue heating or ventilating the front com-
partment of the vehicle for approximately
30 minutes. The heating or ventilation time
depends on the set interior temperature.

tion will be activated. The blower then runs at
