Thanks! I've checked the heat control settings multiple times and they're configured correctly. Is the temperature sensor a common issue with these cars? The error message doesn't provide specific details, just a malfunction within the auxiliary heating system.

Yeah, temperature sensor issues pop up now and then, though not super common. Since you're getting a general error, and your settings are right, it's probably best to take it to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the heating system and see what's up. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right: the glow plug was defective, causing the auxiliary heater malfunction. The repair cost 440€ I appreciate your help!

Hey! I had something similar with my Ioniq. I'm no expert, but a few things could cause this. First, is your heat control set right? Sometimes it's something silly like that. Also, have you checked your temperature sensor? It might be giving a bad reading. What does the error message actually say?
