compartment.
With the front passenger
compartment air conditioning system
switched on, adjust the air flow to
select the desired speed.
Ensure the air vents are open when in use, to prevent ice forming in the
system due to lack of air movement.
Auxiliary 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, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
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.

Driving and operating131Caution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Notice
If AdBlue must be refilled at very low temperatures, the refilling of AdBlue
may not be detected by the system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
space with a higher ambient
temperature until AdBlue is
liquefied.
Notice
If engine starting is prohibited due to low Adblue level, we recommend
adding a volume of at least 10 litres
of AdBlue when refilling. Avoid minor
top-ups (e.g. less than 5 litres),
otherwise the system may not detect a refill.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the filler flap located on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.
The filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked and the right-hand door is opened.9 Danger
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to
avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Capacities 3 224.
Filling station9 Danger
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refilling Adblue.
1. Switch off engine and remove key
from ignition switch.
2. Pull filler flap to open.
3. Unscrew protective cap anticlockwise from the filler neck.
4. Fully insert the pump nozzle into the filler neck and switch it on.
