As RickFizz says you change the temperature and run time of the ‘Heat Immediately’ option in the settings menu. You need to have the key in the ignition to do this.
The key fob remote turns on the ‘Heat Immediately’ option.
If you use the ‘Continuous Heat’ option, it stays on until you turn it off.
That's interesting because mine certainly doesn't! It always switches on heat immediately.The key fob turns on whatever heating option was used last - not just Heat immediately. It could also be Ventilate or heat continuously.
Not sure why anyone would need to pre heat the van for more than 2 hours though?
Good afternoon,
I have to look this up in the manual again.
If I switch on the heater with the remote control it always starts at level 7. But it never stops after a time.
My issue is that sometimes level 7 could be a wee bit too much. I thought I read somewhere in the Forum that the heater switches on in the last level chosen (T6). This is certainly not the case with my van. If the last level was level 2 and I switch it on the next das with the remote control it will start on level 7.
But beside this it is handy to heat up the van and get rid of the ice and frosty windows.
Happy warm California,
Eberhard
If you switch the Control Panel Off at any point then the Temperature Level is reset to Level 7, no matter what the last used setting was.Good afternoon,
