AUXILIARY HEATER
Principle of Operation
The system is designed to reduce the time
needed to heat the engine when it is
running. It turns on or off depending on the
outside air temperature and the coolant
temperature.
The system warms the engine and the
vehicle interior. It uses fuel from the
vehicle fuel tank.
Using the Auxiliary Heater
WARNING: We recommend that
you have a qualified technician check
and repair the heater system after a
crash. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING: Do not use the auxiliary
heater at fuel filling stations or near
sources of combustible vapors, dust or
in enclosed spaces. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. The system requires a minimum of
6.1 gal
(23 L) of fuel in the vehicle fuel tank and
the outside air temperature has to be
below
37°F (3°C).
Note: The system does not operate if the
battery charge level is low.
Note: Do not use biodiesel fuel B20 as this
reduces the lifetime of the heater operation.
Note: Make sure the heater exhaust outlet,
under the vehicle, under the driver
compartment, is free from snow, ice, mud
and any other blockages to avoid issues with
the heater operation.
Note: Driving through water can cause
damage to the heater. See Driving Through
Water
(page 255).
Note: When the system is on, exhaust
fumes come from under your vehicle. This
is normal.
Note: If the heater is in the process of
stopping, excess fuel in the heater burns out
and there is some heat, exhaust and noise.
