- The electrical supply to the water heater unit can shut off too soon when the vehicle is stopped. Fuel can therefore remain in the heater, producing smoke and fuel leakage. Moreover, the information about atmospheric pressure sent by the BSI to the water heating unit is incorrect, so the unit is unable to operate. The unburnt fuel may remain inside the unit may produce smoke when next activated and fuel may potentially leak, increasing the risk of fire.

What should I do? Take your car to a dealer right away. Ask your dealer or mechanic to fix the heater before using it again.
