Check this by pulling on the seat and on the backrest.
WARNING■ If the seat backrest is folded down, only the seat behind the driver´s seat
can be used to transport passengers.■
The front passenger airbag should be switched off when transporting ob-
jects on the seat which was folded forwards » page 21.
■
Do not adjust the seat backrest while driving - it can cause injury and ac-
cidents!
■
When moving the seat backrest, keep limbs out of the area between the
seat and seat backrest – risk of injury!
■
Never transport the following items on the seat backrest when folded
forwards. ■ Objects that could restrict the driver's view.
■ Objects which make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle,
e.g. if they roll under the pedals, or could protrude into the driver's zone. ■ Objects which could lead to injury to passengers due to a change of di-
rection or braking manoeuvre when accelerating sharply.

 Introduction

The auxiliary heating heats the vehicle interior as well as the engine. For heat-
ing, fuel is consumed from the fuel tank.
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior with
the engine switched off, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) (referred to just as aux- iliary heating in the following) ensures the heating / ventilation depending on
the setting of the air conditioning and the air outlet vents before switching off
the ignition.
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the auxiliary heating, do not park the car in
places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable
materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of
fire.
CAUTION
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.■
In the engine compartment, water vapour may form during the operation of
the heater.

▶ According to the environmental conditions.
Switching off the auxiliary heating takes place automatically when there is a
lack of fuel (warning light  in the instrument cluster lights up).
After switching off the system, the coolant pump and the auxiliary heating will
continue running a little while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the
heating.
