Parking heater
The parking heater heats the passenger com-
partment as necessary before driving if the
car's preconditioning is activated.
The parking heater is one of two subfunctions
of the car's heater. The heater is fitted in the
front right-hand wheel housing.
When this symbol illuminates in the
driver display, the parking heater
may be active
15
.
NOTE
When the heater is running 16 , smoke may
be emitted from the right-hand front wheel
housing and a low hum may be heard. A
ticking sound from the fuel pump may also
be heard from the rear section of the car.
This is perfectly normal.
The parking heater starts automatically if the
parking climate's preconditioning is activated
and the passenger compartment needs to be
heated up.
Depending on factors such as battery level,
passenger compartment temperature and
ambient temperature, the heater has different
running times, but never longer than 40
minutes.
NOTE
Make sure there is enough fuel in the car's
fuel tank if the parking heater needs to be
used
17
.
Make sure that there is enough charge in
the hybrid battery if the parking heater
needs to be used.
WARNING
Do not use preconditioning
18
:
•
In unventilated spaces indoors.
Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater
starts.
•
In locations with combustible or flam-
mable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long
grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.
•
When there is a risk that the heater’s
exhaust line may be blocked. For
example, deep snow inside the front
right-hand wheel housing can obstruct
the heater’s ventilation.
Remember that the preconditioning can be
started by a timer that has been set for a
long time in advance.
WARNING
If there is a smell of fuel, unusual amounts
of smoke, black smoke, or unusual sounds
coming from the parking heater
19
, switch
off the heater and, if possible, pull out its
fuse. Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted for
repair.
