probably bad news for cars built before Dec 2013 as the auxilary heating will not be available until Dec 13.

Click on requirements and availability:



Auxiliary heating means:
" car's heater gets it warmth from the coolant fluid that circulates through the engine block. Your heater doesn't "work" until the car's engine runs for a bit and gets up to operating temperature. That's why your heater isn't warm when you first start your car. An auxiliary heater is an electric powered one that is will give more instant heat."
