An autonomous electrical heater is installed only on the Ford Mondeo 4 with a turbodiesel engine. It is necessary, as the diesel engine is badly warmed up in the cold and is unable to generate the amount of heat necessary to warm up the salon. The autonomous heater is capable of heating the passenger compartment for an average of 5 minutes at an ambient temperature of -5 -7 degrees. The autonomous heater is not a preheater, does not warm up the engine and operates only when the ignition is on.
