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, fallen 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!
The programmable heating is supplied by
the vehicle's fuel tank. Before use, ensure
that there is enough fuel left in the tank.
If the fuel in the tank is at the reser ve
level, it is strongly recommended not to
programme the heating.
The additional heating must always be
switched off while refuelling to avoid any
risk of fire or explosion.
Independent additional
heating
Depending on the country of sale, this is an
additional and independent system which heats
the hot water circuit of the Diesel engine to
improve comfort and to raise the temperature
of the cold engine. It improves demisting and
defrosting performance. With the engine idling
or the vehicle stationary, it is normal to notice a
high-pitched whistling and some emissions of
smoke or odour.
The temperature near the heating system must
not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature (e.g. in
a paint oven) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Make sure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
suffocation, the additional 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 (for example: dry grass, fallen
leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of fire!
Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year, at the beginning of
w i n t e r.
For maintenance and repairs, you must
only contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
