Using the refrigerator box
r--('n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The suspended basket in the refrigerator box is for cooling food. The temperature is lower under the basket than inside it. Closed containers or glass bottles are less likely to burst if they are stored in the basket rather than on the bottom of the refrig-erator box .& in Introduction on page 241.
The additional battery will discharge if the refriger-ator box is used for a long period while the engine is switched off and the 230-volt connection is not used.
Before the refrigerator box is used for the first time, it should be cleaned thoroughly using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Cleaning the refrigerator box
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The refrigerator box works independently of the engine and the ignition. lt is fed exclusively by the additional battery. The refrigerator box is switched on and off and regulated using the central control panel.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the re-frigerator box in leak-proof containers. Do not over-fill the refrigerator box such that air circulation is impaired.
Cool the refrigerator box before placing food items and drinks in it. Items you wish to keep in the re-frigerator box should be removed from your house-hold fridge/freezer just before you start your jour-ney. When shopping during a journey, we recom-mend items from shop fridges/freezers be placed in the refrigerator box as quickly as possible. • Clean the refrigerator box using a household detergent before using it for the first time, as well as when it becomes soiled.
• To prevent mould and mildew from forming in the refrigerator box when it is not being used for long periods, place a folded dry towel between the box and its lid. Power supply in the vehicle, California

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).

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.
