Auxiliary and parking heater 3<br />
Fuel-driven heater<br />
WARNING<br />
• Switch off the fuel-driven heater before adding fuel.<br />
• Never use the fuel-driven heater in a garage or other confined<br />
space.<br />
Cars with diesel engine<br />
In certain markets, cars with a diesel engine also have an auxiliary<br />
heater 3. This auxiliary heater is diesel-driven and starts automatically<br />
immediately after the engine is started if the temperature of the<br />
engine coolant is lower than 75 °C and the outside temperature<br />
below 8 °C. The auxiliary heater helps the engine reach its normal<br />
operating temperature more quickly.<br />
A parking heater addition is available as an accessory for these cars.<br />
This addition allows the heater to also be used as a parking heater.<br />
When the parking heater is running, the following symbol is displayed<br />
on the main instrument panel: . This symbol does not<br />
switch off when the heater is switched off.<br />
Parking heater 3, diesel or petrol-driven<br />
The start time of the parking heater is controlled with the DIC. See<br />
page 253. The climate control system is activated at the same time<br />
as the heater. <strong>Manual</strong> setting, see page 90.<br />
NB! The parking heater uses part of the battery’s capacity. We<br />
therefore recommend that the car is driven for at least the same time<br />
as the heater was running in order to recharge the battery. This is<br />
particularly important in cold weather when the battery is already<br />
under strain. Check the battery state regularly and charge the battery<br />
as necessary.<br />
Run the parking heater at least once a month, even in the summer.<br />
This will prevent the evaporation of the remaining fuel leaving<br />
behind deposits, which can later cause running problems.<br />
The parking heater has a maximum running time of 30 minutes.<br />
If you wish the heater to run for a shorter time, e.g. 15 minutes, set<br />
the start time to 15 minutes before the car is to be used. Heating is<br />
interrupted automatically once the engine reaches a certain<br />
temperature.<br />
The heater will not start if there are less than roughly 10 litres of fuel<br />
in the tank.<br />
When the parking heater is running, the following symbol is displayed<br />
on the main instrument panel: . This symbol does not<br />
switch off when the heater is switched off.<br />
Cars with petrol engines<br />
If the car has a parking heater 3 it also acts as an auxiliary heater.<br />
This heater starts automatically immediately after the engine is<br />
started if the temperature of the engine coolant is lower than 75 °C<br />
and the outside temperature below 8 °C. This helps the engine<br />
reach its normal operating temperature more quickly.<br />
Electric engine heater with 230 V cabin socket 3<br />
The start time of the electric engine heater can be set using the DIC.<br />
This requires an accessory kit. We recommend that you contact an<br />
authorised <strong>Cadillac</strong> workshop.<br />
When the electric engine heater is switched on, any 230 V socket in<br />
the cabin is also on.<br />
If a timer kit has been fitted as an accessory:<br />
The electric engine heater has a maximum running time of approximately<br />
180 minutes.<br />
If you wish the heater to run for a shorter time, e.g. 15 minutes, set<br />
the start time to 15 minutes before the car is to be used. Heating is
