Important safety notes G
Warning
Exhaust fumes are produced while the
auxiliary heating system

is in operation. If you
breathe in these exhaust fumes, you could be
poisoned. Therefore, always switch off the
auxiliary heating in enclosed spaces without
an extraction system, e.g. a garage. G
Warning
Parts of the vehicle can become very hot
during operation of the auxiliary heating.
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
under any circumstances come into contact
with highly flammable material such as dry
grass or fuels. Otherwise, the highly
flammable material could ignite and set the
vehicle alight.
Auxiliary heating operation is prohibited at
gas stations or when your vehicle is being
refueled. Therefore, the auxiliary heating
must be switched off at gas stations. G
Warning
When transporting hazardous materials,
always observe the relevant safety
regulations.
Spray canisters and gas cartridges or other
pressurized containers carried in the vehicle 104
Climate control
Controls

may be highly flammable and could explode if
heated.
In particular, make sure that the containers
described above are not placed in the hot air
flow from the

auxiliary heating system. Do not
stow such containers directly next to or on top
of the heater.
You could otherwise endanger yourself and
others.
The auxiliary heating system operates
independently of the engine and
complements the vehicle heating or air
conditioning.
You can set the auxiliary heating at an outside
temperature of up to 39 ‡ (4 †) in order to:
R pre-heat the vehicle interior
R additionally warm the coolant, thereby
conserving the engine and saving fuel
R support the vehicle's heating system while
the engine is running and outside
temperatures are low (heater booster
function)
i If the outside temperature rises above
39 ‡ (4 †), the auxiliary heating and heater
booster function switch off automatically.
! Switch on the auxiliary heating system at
regular intervals (at least once a month) for
approximately 10 minutes.
Make sure that the flow of hot air is not
blocked. Otherwise, the auxiliary heating
will overheat and switch off.
i If the interior motion sensor ( Y page 62)
is armed and the auxiliary heating is
switched on, it is possible that the interior
temperature monitoring may cause a false
alarm. In this case, either deactivate the
interior motion sensor or switch off the
auxiliary heating. Before switching on X
The fuel tank must be at least one-quarter
full.
X Set the desired temperature using the
temperature control of the heating or the
air-conditioning system (Y
page 100).
X Set the air distribution as required
(Y page 102).
X Open the center and side air vents and set
them to the middle position (Y page 101).
