control system in the vehicle. The auxiliary
heating heats the air in the vehicle interior to
the temperature set.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hot-water
auxiliary heater, the auxiliary heating also
keeps the coolant warm. This way, the load
on the engine is minimized and fuel is saved.
The heater booster function (Y page 130) of
the auxiliary heating supports the climate
control system when the engine is running
and the outside temperature is low.
You can use the auxiliary heating at an out-
side temperature of up to 39 ‡ (4 †). At an
outside temperature above 39 ‡ (4 †) the
auxiliary heating system and the heater boos-
ter function switch off automatically. Heating time
The heating time operating the auxiliary heat-
ing when the vehicle is stationary without the
engine running depends on the outside tem-
perature. Outside tempera-
ture Heating time
Above 23 ‡ (
00F85 †) Approx. 20 minutes
23 ‡ (
00F85 †) to 5 ‡
(00F815 †) Approx. 40 minutes
Below 5 ‡ (00F815 †) Approx. 50 minutes
You can then switch on the auxiliary heating
again.
If you do not start the engine for a while, the
total duration of heating is limited to a maxi-
mum of 120 minutes to protect the starter
battery. Switching on the auxiliary heating is
then automatically disabled. You can, for
example, switch on the auxiliary heating with-
out the engine running if the outside temper-
ature is
00F85 ‡ (00F820 †) a maximum of two
times. If you try it again, the indicator lamps
in the 0084button (Y page 124) flash alter-
nately for approximately 2 minutes to signal switch-on interlock. The auxiliary heating can-
not be switched on without starting the
engine.
When the charge status of the starter battery
is sufficient again, the switch-on interlock will
be deactivated. To charge the starter battery,
let the engine run. The engine runtime
required to reach the necessary charge sta-
tus depends on the outside temperature.
Outside tempera-
ture Engine runtime

Operating the auxiliary heating systemClimate control

The auxiliary heating operates for another
two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
i If you switch off the ignition while imme-
diate heating mode (operating duration
10– 120 minutes) is active, immediate
heating mode is also switched off. The aux-
iliary heating operates for another
two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
If you have set continuous operation as the
operating duration and you switch off the
ignition, the auxiliary heating switches off
automatically after about 15 minutes. If, in
the remaining time, the ignition is switched
on again, continuous operation of the aux-
iliary heating continues.
Setting the preselection time G
WARNING
The auxiliary heating must not be operated if
there are highly flammable substances
nearby or in enclosed spaces without an
extraction system. Make sure that the auxili-
ary heating is not switched on automatically
by the timer in such places. If this possibility
exists, deactivate the respective programmed
time.
You can set three preselection times using
the timer.
Observe that when setting the preselection
time, this does not correspond to the switch-
on time but to the switch-off or departure
time. The auxiliary heating system starts up
automatically and runs for the operating dura-
tion set prior to departure.
Example: For a planned departure time of
7:00 a.m., you should also set the preselec-
tion time to 7:00 a.m. If the operating dura-
tion is preset to 40 minutes, for example, the
auxiliary heating starts up at 6:20 a.m.
If an identical time (time and day) is set in the
preselection memory, only the last time set is
saved. After a malfunction or if the battery has been
disconnected, you must set the preselection
times again. You can find further information
on malfunctions in the "Problems with the
auxiliary heating" section ( Ypage 132).

environmentally friendly
manner. Take discharged
batteries to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop or a special
collection point for used bat-
teries.
If the indicator lamp on the remote control
flashes red rapidly, the remote control battery
is discharged. You should replace the remote
control battery.
You need a battery of the type CR2430, which
can be obtained at any qualified specialist
workshop. X
