The air conditioning system
106
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*
Description and important information
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary he ating and ventilation) heats or
supplies the interior of the vehicl e with fresh air independent of the
engine.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) func tions in connection with the Climatic or
Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engi ne is switched off for preheating of the
vehicle as well as while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) warms up the coolant during the combus-
tion of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower
speed is not set to zero) flows into the occupant compartment.
10)
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased
(e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
WARNING
•The auxiliary heating must never be op erated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!
•The auxiliary heating must not be running during refueling - risk of fire.
•The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. Therefore do not place the vehicle, if you wish to operate the
auxiliary heating, in such a way that the exhaust gases of the auxiliary
heating can come easily into contact with inflammable materials (e.g. dry
grass) or easily inflammable substances (e.g. fuel run out).
Note
•If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel consumption comes from the vehicle tank.
Therefore the auxiliary heating should not be operated, if there is very little fuel in
the tank.
•The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heatin g, which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
•If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometers in order to recharge the
vehicle battery.
•The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.
•At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating
problem.
•After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short
period.
•The auxiliary heating and ventilation does not switch on or comes on, if the
vehicle battery indicates a low loading state.
•The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) switches off, if in the information
display: Please refuel! is indicated or wa s indicated before switching off the igni-
tion.
•When driving, the auxiliary heating can only be switched on, if the exterior
temperature is lower than 5 °C.
•The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in
order to ensure that the auxili ary heating operates properly.
•So that warm air can flow into the vehi cle interior after switching on the auxil-
iary heating, you must maintain the te mperature normally selected by you (we
recommend 22°C). It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
.
•On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filter) the warm coolant heats up the
engine.
10)However the coolant does not warm up the engine.

The deactivation of a desired pre-set time can be performed by selecting the menu
Deactive in the menu Active .
It is possible to re-establish the factory setting using the menu Factory setting in
the menu Aux. heating .
Radio remote control
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) can be
switched on or off with the remote control.
– For switching on, press the button .
– For switching off, press the button .
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control.
The receiver is located in the interior of the car.
If the battery is properly charged, the ef fective range is up to 600 m. For switching
on or off the auxiliary heating, hold the remote control vertically with the antenna
⇒ fig. 117 towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the
fingers or the palm of th e hand. Obstacles between the remote control and the
vehicle, bad weather conditio ns and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on or off with the remote control, if the
distance between the remote control and the vehicle is at least 2 m. Warning light in the remote control
The warning light in the remote control
⇒fig. 117 indicates after a keystroke if the
remote control signal was received by th e auxiliary heating and if the battery is
adequately charged.Caution
There are electronic components in the remote control, protect the remote control
against water, severe shoc ks and direct sun rays.
Changing the battery of the radio remote control
If the warning light of the remote control indicates a weak or discharged
battery, ⇒fig. 117 , it must be replaced. The battery is located under a
cover on the back of the remote control.

– Place a coin into the gap of the battry cover and by turning to the left,
unlock the cover.
– Change the battery, insert the cover and lock it by turning to the right.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environm ental regulations.
Note
•Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original
battery.
Direct switching on/off
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ve ntilation) can be switched on or off at
any time directly using the button on the operating part of the Climatic
⇒ fig. 118 or on the operating part of the Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating system (auxiliary heating and ventilation) switches off auto-
matically after expiration of the set operating period in the menu Running time, if
it is not switched of f beforehand by you.
