Range Rover Evoque: Auxiliary heater

Your vehicle may be fitted with an auxiliary heater which is powered by fuel drawn from the vehicle's tank. The heater operates only at low ambient temperatures and is controlled by the Timed climate control system or the heater remote control.

When the heater is operating exhaust fumes from the heater may be visible under the front of the vehicle. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

The auxiliary heater is also operated to warm the engine and aid starting in very cold conditions.

Do not operate the auxiliary heater when refuelling the vehicle. Doing so may cause fuel vapours to combust causing a fire/explosion.
Do not operate the auxiliary heater while the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Doing so can cause a build up of highly toxic fumes which may cause unconsciousness or death.
