Fuel Operated Parking Heater
WARNING:
Do not use the fuel operated parking heater at fuel filling stations or near sources of combustible vapors, dust or in enclosed spaces. This could result in serious personal injury or death. |
The system warms the engine and the vehicle interior, it uses fuel from the vehicle fuel tank. The system will only operate when your vehicle is stationary with the engine switched off.
Used correctly the system will:- Warm the engine and the vehicle interior.
- Keep the windows clear of ice in the event of frost and prevent condensation.
- Avoid cold starts to assist the engine to reach operating temperature sooner.
Following a heating cycle, if you do not start the engine the system will not turn on the next programmed heating cycle.
Following a heating cycle we recommend that you drive your vehicle for at least the same period of time as the heating cycle. This prevents the vehicle battery from running out of charge.
We recommend you switch the system on for approximately 10 minutes every month to prevent the water pump or heater motor seizing.
The system will only operate if there is a minimum of 7.5 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the vehicle fuel tank and the outside air temperature is below
15 °C (59 °F). The system will not operate if the battery charge level is low.
Note:
When the system is operating, exhaust fumes will come from under your vehicle. This is normal.

On vehicles with manual climate control, heating the vehicle interior will depend on the heater control settings. See
Climate Control.
