Ignition on.
Select the VCT 2000 symbol to read off the initial field value for the outside temperature. Make a note of the value. Program as necessary.
The programmable temperature is between 0° and +10°C in steps of 1°C.

NOTE: The outside temperature (start temperature) for additional heater can be reprogrammed. The start value can be changed within the limits of 0°C to +10°C. The factory setting is +4°C. This allows the start temperature to be adjusted to the customer wishes. If the customer experiences poor heating in the passenger compartment, the start temperature can be raised so that the heater starts at a higher outside temperature. It is recommended that the temperature is raised or lowered approximately 3°C for a noticeable difference. If the additional heater seems to start too often at too high an outside temperature, the start temperature can be lowered.
