Parking heater
The parking heater heats the passenger com-
partment as necessary before driving if the
car's preconditioning is activated.
The parking heater is one of two subfunctions
of the car's heater. The heater is fitted inside
the engine compartment.
When this symbol illuminates in the
driver display, the parking heater
may be active
14
.
NOTE
When the heater is running
15
, smoke may
be emitted from under the front part of the
car and a low hum may be heard. A ticking
sound from the fuel pump may also be
heard from the rear section of the car. This
is perfectly normal.
The parking heater starts automatically if the
parking climate's preconditioning is activated
and the passenger compartment needs to be
heated up.
Depending on factors such as fuel availability,
battery level, passenger compartment tem-
perature and ambient temperature, the heater
has different running times, but never longer
than 30 minutes.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
fuel tank if the parking heater needs to be
used
16
.
Make sure that there is enough charge in
the hybrid battery if the parking heater
needs to be used.
WARNING
Do not use preconditioning
17
:
In unventilated spaces indoors.
Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater
starts.
In locations with combustible or flam-
mable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long
grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.
When there is a risk that the heater’s
exhaust line may be blocked. For
example, deep snow under the front
part of the car can obstruct the heat-
er’s ventilation.
Remember that the preconditioning can be
started by a timer that has been set for a
long time in advance.
WARNING
If there is a smell of fuel, unusual amounts
of smoke, black smoke, or unusual sounds
coming from the parking heater
18
, switch
off the heater and, if possible, pull out its
fuse. Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted for
repair.
