The heater serves to warm the engine block to increase the vehicle's starting speed, as well as to heat the vehicle more quickly than it would normally in cold weather: the most common type is the electric heater, which is a kind of plug to be inserted into one of the technical holes of the engine block, to which the power supply cable will then be connected.

In the case of the vehicle in question, a suitable socket hole for inserting the heater is located just above the gearbox where the barcode label is found: to facilitate the installation process, it is advisable to remove the intake duct that runs from the air filter housing to the throttle body.

Once you have located the hole to insert the heater, generously coat it with the appropriate conductive gel and insert it until it locks in place; then connect the socket and the power supply cable.
