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 heating,
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 sw
itches the blower on, if
it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.•
At low outside temperatures, this can resu
lt 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 indicate
s a low loading state.
•
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
Please refuel!
(Please refuel!)
.
•
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in
order to ensure that the auxiliary 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.

ntilation) can be switched on or off at

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. 131
towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the
fingers or the palm of th
e hand. Obstacles between the radio remote control and
the vehicle, bad weather co
nditions and a weaker batt
ery can clearly reduce the
range. The auxiliary heating can only be switched
on or off with the radio remote control,
if the distance between the radio remote
control and the vehicle is at least 2 m.
Warning light in the radio remote control The warning light in the radio remote control
⇒fig. 131
indicates after a keystroke
if the remote control signal was received
by the auxiliary heating and if the battery
