Operation with the remote control
Important information You can switch the auxiliary heating on/off
and set the operating duration using the
remote control. You can use up to 4 remote
control units on the vehicle. These must be
synchronized for the receiver in your vehicle
(Y page 122).
The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 600 meters. This range is
reduced by:
R sources of interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavorable
position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
