Dear mario.kwok,

Are you into 230 V or something?

If you are, check the www.defa.com site.

Even if my car is under 30cm of snow, the car is warm inside!

After that I just push the snow off my car, start it up, put on the seating heater,
turn off the DSC and drive off.

Trust me or not, I'm not bullshitting, you are welcome to see what the winter is all about!

Cheers,
Riku

Model Year: 2018

It comes on when the temperature hits 37 degrees Fahrenheit (about 3 degrees C) but does not stay on during the drive.

Once it warns you, it won't warn you again unless the car is turned off and back on again or the temp rises above 37 and falls again...

wowe: Probably because the temperature was below +3'C when you shut off the car the last time. The warning sounds whenever there is a CHANGE from +4'C or more, and down below +3'C.

I know it is getting a bit annoying seeing that everyday now. What's more annoying is that I have to get the frost off the windscreen every morning. (you know what it's like when you're rushing to work every morning. <_< Even a normal cheap 15 year old Ford is equiped with heated windscreen........

As I know some model is equiped with Auxilary heater which allows you to set the timer to heat the car up. Well, I'm told by the dealer ths option is not available on petrol models. < It is true???

Heated front windscreens (thin tiny elements on windscreen) are apparently a patent by Ford. This is the reason why they only occur on Ford cars. Obviously they can occur on Ford owned companies like Jaguar. Its a very useful feature as I had it on my Mondeo a few years ago.
