Air conditioning
The supplementary heating system switches
off again aut
omatically after a while.
Note
Noises will be hear
d while the auxiliary
heater is running.
When the air humidity is high and the in-
side temperature low, condensation from
the heating and ventilating system may
evaporate when the auxiliary heater is
switched on. In this case, steam may be re-
leased from underneath the vehicle. This
does not mean that there is a vehicle mal-
function.
If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a
slope, the operation of the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is
low (just above the reserve level).
If the auxiliary heater is used a number of
times for a long period of time, the 12-volt
battery will lose its charge. To recharge the
battery, the vehicle must be driven for a
number of kilometres from time to time. As
a guideline: the journey should last approx-
imately as long as the heater was connec-
ted.
At temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the
auxiliary heater may switch itself on auto-
matically when the engine is switched on.
The auxiliary heater is switched off again
after a certain time.
While the vehicle is stopped, the auxiliary
heating can be switched on up to a maxi-
mum of three consecutive times in a row
with the maximum oper
ating duration.
Programming the auxiliary heater
Before pr
ogramming it, check that the vehi-
cle's date and time are set correctly
.
The auxiliary heat
er is programmed in the
Auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment
system.
Set the operating duration of the auxiliary
heating
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
Press the Set function butt
on.
To set the operating time, press the Oper-
ating duration button.
The set operating duration is taken into ac-
count when the auxiliary heating is switched
on using the immediate heat button or the
remote control.
The maximum duration of the auxiliary heat-
ing is 60 minutes.
Set the departure time
Activating this function only affects the heat-
ing or ventilation. The departure time must be
reactivated whenever the vehicle is started.
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
Press the Set function button.
Select one of the memory spaces for a De-
parture time.
Press the Activate function button.
Manual air conditioning: The scheduled de-
parture time determines when the auxiliary
heating or ventilation will be switched off. The
start of the heating or ventilation process de-
pends on the programmed duration of opera-
tion.
Climatronic: The vehicle uses the program-
med departure time to automatically calcu-
late the time at which the heating or ventila-
tion process should begin to attain the set
temperature.
A departure time can be scheduled in the App
or on the MySEAT website.
Checking the programming
If a departure time is activated, the yellow
LED on the immediate heat button lights up
on the Climatronic control panel, approxi-
mately ten seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it s
witches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless
