A WARNING
Improper use of the fresh water system can lead to poisoning and illness.
• The fresh water tank should only be filled with drinking water from the public water supply.
• Never fill the fresh water tank from springs or streams. Such water could be con-taminated or contain debris.
• Never use commercially available house-hold cleaners to clean the fresh water tank.
• Never leave water in the fresh water tank for long periods without replacing it with fresh water.
,A WARNING (Continued)
• Drain the fresh water system completely when it will not be used for a long time.
A WARNING
Both the fresh water tank and the waste water tank drain out underneath the vehicle. In very cold conditions this poses a danger from the formation of ice.
• Be especially careful when fresh or waste water are drained during freezing or very cold weather.
CD
In very cold weather the fresh and waste water systems should be emptied to prevent them from becoming damaged if the vehicle is not to be kept heated continuously or Is only to be used for short periods.
CD
Do not allow the water pump to run dry as this will damage the pump.
• Only switch on the water pump when there Is water in the fresh water tank.

230-volt grounded safety socket
The 230-volt grounded safety socket is supplied with 230 V alternating current via electrical feed from the external socket 242.
The following electrical consumers are supplied from the 230-volt power supply via the external socket:
• Battery charger
• Depending on the vehicle equipment, the 230-volt grounded safety socket is located in the side trim panel behind the left front seat or on the side of the kitchen unit 246.
230-volt Euro socket
The 230-volt Euro socket is supplied via additional batteries or via an inverter and is located in the side trim panel behind the left front seat 245.

High voltage in the electrical system!
• Never pour any liquid over the socket.
• Do not plug any adapters or extension ca-bles into the 230-volt Euro socket. Otherwise the built-in child lock will disengage and pow-er will be supplied to the socket.
• Do not insert any items which will conduct electricity, such as knitting needles, into the contacts of the 230-volt Euro socket.
A WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical ac-cessories can cause fires and severe Injuries.
• Never leave children in the vehicle unat-tended. Sockets and the devices connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING (Continued)
• If the electrical device gets too hot, switch off the device Immediately and disconnect it from the socket.
CD
• Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug into the socket.
• Never exceed the maximum power rating as this could damage the whole vehicle electrical system.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with valid guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
• Never feed electricity into the socket.
• Do not plug any heavy devices or connec-tions, such as mains adapters, directly Into the socket.
• Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.
CD
• In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that gener-ates electricity, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the vehicle battery, to the 12-volt socket.
• Only use accessories that have been ap-proved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
• In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuation, always switch any electrical con-sumers connected to the 12-volt sockets off be-fore switching the ignition or the engine on or off. When the start/stop system automatically switches off and restarts the engine, it is not necessary to switch off any connected electri-cal consumers.
• Never connect electrical devices requiring more electrical power to a 12-volt socket. The vehicle's electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.
CD
• Observe the operating instructions for any device that you plug Into the socket.
• 230-volt Euro socket:
-Do not plug any heavy devices or connec-tions, such as mains adapters, directly into the socket. .,..

The batteries will become depleted if electrical consumers such as the auxiliary heater, refrigera-tor box or interior lights are used while the vehicle is stationary for long periods of time without re-charging the batteries. If the battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts, the auxiliary heater cannot be switched on.
The battery compartment and the battery charger are designed specifically for the factory-fitted AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries &.
Additional batteries
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 242.
The factory-fitted AGM batteries are located under the left front seat and in the wardrobe. They have deep discharge protection.
Should the additional batteries be subjected to deep discharge over a long period of time, they could be destroyed.
You can prevent deep discharge by:
• switching off the central control panel after charging,
• removing the fuses for the fresh water pump and the pop-up roof as necessary 249.
AGM batteries are maintenance free. do not leak their electrolyte, are robust and have extremely low gas emissions.
When should the additional battery be charged?
• If the additional battery is not charged by the al-ternator while the engine is running, the additional battery must be charged on the battery charger at regular intervals -every 4 weeks at the latest-for at least 12 hours.
• The additional battery must be recharged for at least 12 hours before the start of a journey if the battery has not been used for an extended period (e.g. seasonal use).
248 I Before the JOurney
A WARNING
If a conventional battery Is charged it will give off a highly explosive mixture of gases.
• Use only AGM batteries of the same type (batteries with the electrolyte absorbed Into a special fibreglass matting) and with the same specifications as the factory-fitted batteries.
• Never use conventional batteries (wet cells with liquid electrolyte). A WARNING

In some vehicles, the locations of fuse blocks could vary from the those shown In the table. How-ever, since the order of the amp ratings is identical within any individual fuse block, you will still be able to identify the electrical consumers if this is the case.
The fuses for the camping equipment electrical consumers are located under the left front seat 214. Other vehicle parts will have to be re-moved in order to gain access to the fuse box. If you are unsure, have the fuses changed by a qualified workshop.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
