Operating cycle
Pre-heating (for ð 32 seconds)
Full speed
Part speed
Ventilation time delay after stopping (evacuation of gases and cooling) (for ð 120 seconds)
The heater system is automatically regulated
- Depending on the calorific need connected with the air temperature and its delivery on the passenger compartment heater matrix
- Depending on the heater fluid temperature
Phases of operation
- Full speed - part speed - alternate stops: little heating need
- Full speed - alternate speed: average heating need
- Non-stop full speed: considerable heating need
Identification
(1) combustion boiler
(2) heater fluid reservoir
(3) heater matrix tube
(4) fuel pump
The heating of the passenger compartment and the demisting/de-icing of the windscreen are ensured by the heater matrix of the vehicle
The necessary source of heat is provided by a combustion boiler (1)
A warning lamp located on the heating control shows that the combustion boiler is energised
Fuel supply system
- Fuel tank
- Fuel pump (4)
- Warning lamp indicating the minimum level, 2 litres approximately, on the dashboard
NoteTank capacity: 8 litres
Components installed underneath the floor, at the rear of the vehicle
- Fuel tank
- Fuel pump
Heater fluid system
- Heater fluid reservoir (2)
- Heater matrix
- Heater matrix tube (3)
- Circulation pump, integral with the boiler
Recommendations
WarningIt is advisable to leave the heater of the electric vehicle turned on for at least 15 min a month (even during the summer)
After switching on the heater, wait 5 min in order to judge its efficiency: the air coming out the ventilators should start warming up
If the air is being blown by the ventilators is not warm, carry out the following operations
- Check the fuel level
- Adjust the air temperature to "hot"
- Switch the heating on again
WarningWhen the heater adjustment lever is switched back and forth several times in a row, its operation is delayed
NoteWhen the heater has not been used for a long time, unstable combustion may be observed for 5 min, (heavy roaring, smoke, combustion misfires)
