46
Car
Preheater
is
manufactured
by
Webasto.The
24h
timer
can
be
programmed
with
two
different
settings.The
yellow
LED
on
the
left
indicates
an
activated

button
with
the
clock
on
it
is
used
to
set
the
actual
time
as
a
reference.Next
button
with
flames
printed
on
it
is
for
immidiate
use
of
the

will
be

by
the
green
LED
on
the
right
(and
a
buzzing
sound
under
the
hood
after
30
seconds).
The preheater works independant from the engine. It can be used to:
-
heat
up
the
interior
before
and
while
driving
-
defrost
the
windows
-
heat
up
the
coolant
For
correct
functioning,
the
climate
control
must
be
kept
switched
on.
The
blower
starts
automatically
when
the
coolant
is
warm
enough.
After
60
minutes
maximum
the
preheater
switches
itself
off.
The
fuel
consumption
is
about
0.3
liters
per
hour.
The
sticker
on
the
housing
says
'power
input
12V/44W'
and
'heating
power
output
4,6
KW

the

the

Rare
options
indeed!
