Note

The light above the sun visor automatically

CAUTION

If one of the mirror housings is knocked

WARNING

Once switched off, the auxiliary heater will

continue to operate for a short period of time

in order to burn the fuel remaining in the sys-

tem and also to expel the exhaust fumes.

The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain

carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-

less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause

people to lose consciousness. It can also

cause death.

side temperature low, condensation from

the heating and ventilating system may

evaporate when the auxiliary heater is

switched on. In this case, steam may be re-

leased from underneath the vehicle. This

does not mean that there is a vehicle mal-

function.

On heating the vehicle interior, depending on

the outside temperature, the warm air is first

directed at the windscreen and then to the

rest of the vehicle interior through the air

vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the

windows for example – can affect air distribu-

tion.

●

If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a

slope, the operation of the auxiliary heater

may be restricted if the fuel tank level is

low (just above the reserve level).

●

If the auxiliary heater is used a number of

times for a long period of time, the 12-volt

battery will lose its charge. To recharge the

battery, the vehicle must be driven for a

number of kilometres from time to time. As

a guideline: the journey should last approx-

imately as long as the heater was connec-

ted.

When the auxiliary heater is not switched

on

●

The auxiliary heater requires about as

much power as the dipped beam headlights.

If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the

auxiliary heater switches off automatically

and cannot be switched on. This avoids prob-

lems when starting the engine.

●

At temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the

auxiliary heater may switch itself on auto-

matically when the engine is switched on.

The auxiliary heater is switched off again

after a certain time.

●

The heating must be activated every time

you want to set off. Similarly, the departure

time must reactivate each time.
