Heater
The heater has two subfunctions that help to heat the passenger compartment or engine in different situations.
The heater has two subfunctions:
- Parking heater - heats the passenger compartment, if necessary, when the parking climate control's preconditioning is activated.
- Auxiliary heater - heats the passenger compartment, if necessary, while driving.
The heater is a high-voltage heater and is fitted in the front right-hand wheel housing.
Battery and charging
The heater is powered by the car's hybrid battery. If the charge level of the hybrid battery is too low, then the heater is switched off automatically and the driver display shows a message.
Note
Make sure that there is enough charge in the battery if the heater needs to be used.
