Additional heater (diesel)
(certain countries)
Extra heat from the additional heater may be

switched off automatically. A message appears
on the information display. Acknowledge
the message by pressing READ
once (A).
IMPORTANT
03
Repeated use of the parking heater combined
with short journeys may discharge
the battery and impair starting. If the heater
is used regularly, the car must be driven for
the same as the heater is run to ensure that
the alternator has time to charge the battery.
Messages on the display
When TIMER AM , TIMER PM and DIRECT
START are activated, the information symbol
on the combined instrument panel lights and
an explanatory text appears on the information
display. The display also indicates which
TIMER is active when the driver removes the
key from the ignition to leave the car.
