The supplementary heater comple-

ments engine coolant heating imme-

diately after start up and when trav-

elling to reach the optional engine op-

eration temperature and to heat the

passenger compartment faster. 

The electrical device is fully auto-

matic and will only work when the

engine is running. 

IMPORTANT The supplementary

heater will be switched on when the

outside temperature is lower than

15°C and the engine coolant temper-

ature is lower than 65°C. 

To prevent excessive intake of bat-

tery current, the heater operation at

the various power percentages is sub-

jected to the power voltage measured

by the control unit.

IMPORTANT The operation of the

heater according to engine coolant

temperature consequently can be cut

out or reduced according to the bat-

tery voltage. 

At the end of the operation cycle de-

veloped according to the temperature

of the engine coolant and the battery

voltage, the supplementary heater is

automatically switched off. It will not

come on again until the following en-

gine start-up, even if the coolant tem-

perature drops to under 65°C.
