A WARNING
Improper use of the fresh water system can lead to poisoning and illness.
• The fresh water tank should only be filled with drinking water from the public water supply.
• Never fill the fresh water tank from springs or streams. Such water could be con-taminated or contain debris.
• Never use commercially available house-hold cleaners to clean the fresh water tank.
• Never leave water in the fresh water tank for long periods without replacing it with fresh water.
,A WARNING (Continued)
• Drain the fresh water system completely when it will not be used for a long time.
A WARNING
Both the fresh water tank and the waste water tank drain out underneath the vehicle. In very cold conditions this poses a danger from the formation of ice.
• Be especially careful when fresh or waste water are drained during freezing or very cold weather.
CD
In very cold weather the fresh and waste water systems should be emptied to prevent them from becoming damaged if the vehicle is not to be kept heated continuously or Is only to be used for short periods.
CD
Do not allow the water pump to run dry as this will damage the pump.
• Only switch on the water pump when there Is water in the fresh water tank.
m if you do not use the sink for a long period' it L.:!J should be kept dry and free of salt.

Sterilising agent
f"""('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:,U information and safety warnings & on page 237.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends adding a sterilising agent to the fresh water through the fresh water filler neck =>&.After add-ing sterilising agent, turn on the tap and allow ap-proximately one litre of water to run out and down the drain. This will distribute the sterilising agent through the fresh water system.
You may also pour sterilising agent down the sink, followed by a little water, to sterilize the waste wa-ter tank.
Cleaning the fresh water tank

f"""('n First read and observe the introductory l-J,:,,J information and safety warnings & on page 237.
A WARNING
Improper use of the sterilising agent can cause poisoning or Injury.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for diluting and using the sterilising agent.
m Sterilising agent is available at specialist L!J camping shops and in pharmacies. On top of the fresh water tank there is a large opening for use when cleaning the tank.
• Open the door to the wardrobe on the right of the luggage compartment.
• Remove the round plastic cover plate from the bottom of the wardrobe.
• Carefully disconnect the electrical connection =>Fig. 204@ for the water level sensor@.
• Turn the tank cap Q) together with the water level sensor anticlockwise.
• Reassemble by following the preceding steps in reverse order.
m Vehicles used for commercial purposes in L!J Germany are required by law to have their fresh water systems checked to ensure compliance with drinking water regulations. Equipment, California I 239

A WARNING (Continued)
• Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse pro-tection limit. Fuses must always be replaced by a new fuse with the same amp rating (same colour and markings) and size.
• Never repair a fuse.
• Never use a metal strip, paper clip or simi-lar objects to replace a fuse.
CD
• To avoid damage to the electrical system in the vehicle, switch the ignition, the lights and all electrical consumers off and remove the ve-hicle key from the ignition before changing a fuse.
• You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.
• Fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture when opened. Dirt and moisture in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system. Air conditioning system, California

Locking the steering wheel
• When the vehicle key has been removed, turn the steering wheel slightly until you hear the lock-ing pin engage.
The steering should be locked every time you leave the vehicle to make il more difficult for the vehicle to be stolen.
Unlocking the steering wheel
• Turn the steering wheel slightly to lake the load off the steering lock mechanism. Hold the steering wheel in this position and tu m the vehicle key clockwise out of position 217 @.
A WARNING
If the power steering is not working, the steering wheel is difficult to turn, which makes it difficult to steer the vehicle.
• The power steering only functions when the engine Is running.
• Never allow the vehicle to roll if the engine is switched off.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig-nition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle. Power steering
With power steering, the steering assistance is au-tomatically matched to vehicle speed, the steering wheel torque and the steering wheel angle. The power steering will only function when the engine is running.
You will need considerably more strength than nor-mal to steer the vehicle if lhe power steering is re-duced or has failed completely. Starting the engine, changing gear and parking I 281

Range
The receiver is located in the vehicle interior. The remote control key has a range of several hundred metres when the battery is fully charged. The range of the remote control key can be considera-bly reduced by obstacles between the remote con-trol key and the vehicle, bad weather conditions, and a flat battery.
To achieve optimal range, hold the remote control vertically with the aerial 266 or 267 at the top. Do not hold the aer-ial with your fingers or the palm of your hand.
The distance between the remote control and the vehicle must be at least 2 metres.
CD
• The remote control contains electronic com-ponents. Protect the remote control from mois-ture, excessive vibration and direct sunlight.
• Unsuitable batteries can damage the remote control. Only replace discharged batteries with a new battery of the same voltage rating, size and specification.
Discharged batteries must be disposed of in W accordance with regulations governing the protection of the environment.
The battery in the remote control may contain W perchlorate. Please comply with legislation regarding disposal.

A WARNING_tContlnued)
• The power steering, all driver assist sys-tems and brake assist systems will not func-tion if the engine "sputters" or stops com-pletely due to a lack of fuel or Irregular fuel supply.
• Always fill the tank when it is stlll1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking down.
Filling the tank with petrol or diesel

Q)
• To avoid damage to your vehicle, always ob-serve the indicator lamps and associated warn-ing texts.
• Do not run the tank empty. Irregular filling periods can cause backfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or diesel partlculate filter could be damaged as a result!
m The small arrow next to the petrol pump sym-L!J bol 269 shows you which side of the vehicle the tank flap is located on. • The fuel tank is full when the (properly operat-ed) automatic filler nozzle clicks off for the first time
• Do not continue filling the tank after it switches off. The expansion space in the fuel tank will other-wise fill up and the fuel could spill out. This could also happen when the fuel warms up and expands.
Closing the tank cap
• Turn the tank cap clockwise into the fuel filler neck until it perceptibly engages.
• Close the tank flap so that it engages audibly. The tank flap must be flush with the vehicle body-work.
• Close left-hand front door.
A WARNING
Do not continue filling the tank once the filler nozzle stops automatically. The fuel tank could be overfilled. This can cause fuel to splash out and overflow. This can cause fires, explosions and serious Injuries.
Q)
Remove spilt fuel from the vehicle paint as quickly as possible in order to avoid damage to the wheel housing, tyres and vehicle paint.
Spilt fuel can pollute lhe environment.
