Additional heater*
In cold climate zones
7
an additional heater
may be required to obtain the correct operat-
ing temperature in the engine and to obtain
sufficient heating in the passenger compart-
ment.
A fuel-driven additional heater (p. 136) is fit-
ted in cars with diesel engines.
In a semi-cold
7
climate zone diesel-driven
cars have an electric additional heater (p.
137) instead of a fuel-driven version.
Cars with certain petrol engines
8
have an
electric additional heater integrated into the
car's climate control system.

Fuel-driven additional heater*
The car is equipped with either an electric (p.

The heater starts automatically when extra
heat is required when the engine is running.
The heater is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when
the engine is switched off.
NOTE
When the additional heater is active there
may be smoke from the right-hand wheel
housing, which is perfectly normal.
Auto mode or shutdown
The additional heater's automatic start
