Auxiliary Heating icon

[thor4fun]

Hi All; I've got the below icon showing up in my instrument cluster (left-hand side from TFT LCD panel) in orange for about 2-5s, whenever I turn the engine off.

Manual says it's aux heating. I have 2.0 245 petrol and I didnt pay for that option. Would you know what this means?

hi lookin around it looks like it
To identify the control that activates a interior component that produces heat. May be used in conjunction with other symbols to specify a specific application (for example, heated seat, heated steering wheel).

That's what my heated steering wheel icon looks like

Interesting. I have the same question, but relating to an e-Hybrid. That precise icon lit up on (i.e. in the plastic to the left of) my Cupra Leon e-Hybrid's digital instrument cluster this morning, after I switched him off and sat there for 5 mins, tinkering with the Infotainment system.

I'd just done a 3 mile round trip drive in EV mode, after pre-heating the car on the external 230V socket. I believe that icon means that the interior of the car is currently being heated from the EV traction battery - even though I'd powered off via the main Start/Stop button. However, that particular icon isn't covered by the user manual. Bizarrely - they show the icon in the instrument cluster illustration but there's no trace of it in the hyperlinked descriptive section, or anywhere else in the manual for that matter!
