Activating and deactivating automatic start of auxiliary heater

The auxiliary heater helps to heat the passenger compartment and engine while driving.

It is possible to set whether automatic start for the additional heater should be activated/deactivated.

Press Settings in the top view in the centre display.
Press Climate.
Select Additional Heater to activate/deactivate automatic start of the additional heater.

 Note

Volvo recommends that the automatic start for the additional heater should be switched off for short driving distances.1

 Note

If the auxiliary heater's automatic starting is deactivated, this may impede comfort in the passenger compartment as the climate control system will then have no heat source during electrical operation.
