system is programmed or set in
operation remotely via the remote
control.
It flashes during the whole duration
of the heating and goes off at the end
of the heating cycle or when stopped
using the remote control.
Ventilation
This system allows ventilation of the passenger
compartment with exterior air to improve the
temperature experienced on entering the
vehicle in summer.

F
U
se a coin to unscrew the cap and replace
the battery. Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
The maximum heating period is about
45 minutes depending on the climatic
conditions.
The additional heating system is powered
by the fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank level is on reser ve, the system
cannot be used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-

t
he battery is sufficiently charged,
-

t
he fuel level is adequate,
-

t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a
flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – risk of fire!
Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these sur faces;
never touch these sur faces – risk of burns! Always switch off the additional heating
while refuelling – risk of fire or explosion!
The indicator lamp in the remote control
flashes for about 2 seconds if the vehicle
has not received the signal.
You should then move to a different
location and repeat the command.
