No buttons to push or adjustments to make.
The heater continues to run at the same comfort level as when the engine was running.
A seasonal on/off switch turns the system on at the beginning of the heating season and off at the end. An automatic version even turns the system on and off between seasons.

A central control unit monitors all functions and operations, automatically turning the system on when the engine is turned off and terminating operation when engine coolant temperatures drop below comfort levels.
