by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.

moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the remote control,
it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded
■ Battery voltage too low
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
remote control while not in range,
which will require reprogramming
by a workshop
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources

sounder, and the hazard warning
lights flash simultaneously. The
number and duration of alarm signals
are stipulated by legislation.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected
or its power supply is interrupted, the
alarm siren will be triggered. First
deactivate the anti-theft alarm system if the vehicle battery must be
disconnected.
To silence the alarm siren (if

removed from the ignition switch and
also if the key is left in the ignition
switch when the engine is turned off.
If the engine cannot be started, switch off the ignition and remove key, wait
approx. 2 seconds and then repeat
the start attempt. If start attempt is
unsuccessful, attempt to start the
engine using the spare key and seek
the assistance of a workshop.Notice
The immobiliser does not lock the doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 20,

78Instruments and controls
Interruption of power supply
If the power supply has been
interrupted or if the vehicle battery
voltage has dropped too low, the
values stored in the trip computer will be lost.Tachograph
The tachograph is operated as
described in the operating
instructions supplied. Observe
regulations regarding use.
When a tachograph is fitted the total
distance travelled is shown only on
the tachograph and not in the
odometer within the instrument
display.

Climate control87Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

inadvertent operation.
The remote control has a maximum
range of 600 metres. The range may
be reduced due to environmental
conditions and as the battery
becomes weaker.
In addition to the remote control unit,
the heating can also be switched on
for 30 minutes, or off, using the button
on the instrument panel.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery when the range
of the remote control is reduced or when the battery charge symbol
flashes.

replace the battery (CR 2430 or equivalent), ensuring the new battery
is correctly installed with the positive
( < ) side facing the positive terminals.
Replace the cover securely.
Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with environmental
regulations.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
