Air Conditioning, Parking Heater and Heated Rear Window 77
Parking Heater
The parking heater can be used to heat the interior
of the vehicle and defrost the windshield without
having the engine running.
The combustion exhaust gases released during
operation of the parking heater are very hot and
will ignite flammable materials near the underside
of the car body.
f Turn off the parking heater before refueling or
entering a gasoline station.
f Do not park the vehicle near flammable
materials of any type. Make sure that there is
good airflow under the vehicle which will allow
the hot exhaust gases to escape freely at the
underside of the body.
The parking heater burns fuel. This produces toxic
exhaust gases, which are released under the floor
of the vehicle.
f Do not operate the parking heater in enclosed
spaces (e.g. in a garage).
Operational readiness
The parking heater can be used regardless of
the ignition lock position:
– When the engine is not running.
– When outside temperatures are less than
approx. 15 °C.
– When there is sufficient fuel in the tank
(reserve not reached).
– When the battery is sufficiently charged.
Information
When the parking heater is activated for the
first time after not being used for a long time,
e.g. after the summer, it may take two attempts
to switch it on in rare cases if the parking heater
does not start at the first attempt.
Operating the parking heater
The parking heater is operated using the parking
heater button in the center console or using the
“Auxiliary heater” menu in the multi-purpose
display.
When the ignition is switched off, the parking
heater prevents the windshield from misting up
and frosting over and automatically maintains
a comfortable interior temperature independently
of the air-conditioning settings.
When the ignition is switched on, the air quantity,
air distribution and temperature can be adjusted
individually while the parking heater is on.
The parking heater switches off automatically
when the engine is started or after max.
30 minutes.
