Battery and fuel
If the battery has insufficient charge or the fuel

switched off automatically. A message is
shown in the display. Acknowledge the mes-
sage by pressing READ once.
IMPORTANT
Repeated use of the parking heater com-
bined with short journeys may discharge the
battery and impair starting. If the heater is
used regularly, the car must be driven for the
same time as the heater is used in order to
ensure that the alternator has time to charge
the battery.
Additional heater (diesel)*
Extra heat from the additional heater may be
required in cold weather to reach the correct
temperature in the passenger compartment.
The additional heater starts automatically
when extra heat is required if the engine is run-
ning. It is switched off automatically when the
correct temperature is reached or when the
engine is switched off.
