Activating and deactivating the auxiliary heater
It is possible to set whether automatic start for the auxiliary heater should be activated or deactivated.
- Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
- Tap Climate.
- Select Additional Heater to activate/deactivate automatic start for the auxiliary heater.
If automatic start of the auxiliary heater is deactivated, this may impair comfort in the passenger compartment since the climate system then does not have a heat source during electrical operation.
Additional heater
The auxiliary heater is one of two sub-functions of the vehicle’s heater. The heater is mounted in the front right-side wheel housing.
The auxiliary heater is started and controlled automatically when extra heat is required while the vehicle is being driven.
It switches off automatically when the ignition is switched off.

The heater has two sub-functions:
- Parking heater – heats the passenger compartment as needed when the parking climate’s preconditioning is activated.
- Auxiliary heater – heats the passenger compartment and engine while driving.
The vehicle’s high-voltage heater is mounted in the front right-side wheel housing.
Battery and charging
The heater is powered by the vehicle’s hybrid battery. If the charge level in the hybrid battery is too low, the heater will switch off automatically and a message will be displayed in the instrument panel.
Make sure that the battery has sufficient charge if the heater must be used.
