Fuse table
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.

Equipment, California 249

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

Programming the supplementary heater. . . . . 251
The supplementary heating system is supplied with fuel from the vehicle fuel tank and can be used when the vehicle is in motion or stationary.
Additional information:
• Central control panel 204
• Supplementary heaters 322
• Rectifying faults on the camping equipment 254
A WARNING
The fumes from the supplementary heating system contain carbon monoxide, which is an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. lt can also cause death.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never start or run the supplementary heat-ing system in unventilated or closed rooms.
• Never programme the auxiliary heater so that it is switched on and run in unventilated or enclosed spaces.
A WARNING
Parts of the exhaust system of the supple-mentary heating system become very hot. This can cause fires.
• Park the vehicle so that no part of the ex-haust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass.
CD
Do not place any food, medicine or any other heat-sensitive items In front of the vents. Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered useless. Programming the supplementary heater

When parked at a camping site
• Engage a gear and place chocks against the wheels to prevent the vehicle rolling away.
• Release the handbrake so that it does not freeze.
• Do not lay power cables on the ground as they could freeze to the ground.
• Keep the ground under the vehicle free of ob-structions so that the exhaust from the supplemen-tary heating system can escape.
Ventilation
High humidity levels in the vehicle can be reduced by using a commercially available fan.

./ Wait out the storm while remaining inside the vehicle.
Additional information:
• Read and observe the information under the in-dex keyword "Winter conditions".
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. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cloth mois-tened with spirits, alcohol or special plastic cleaner => Equipment, California 253

Cleaning the cooker and sink
Clean the surfaces of the gas cooker and sink with commercially available non-abrasive cleaning Remove the pan supports from atop the burners to clean the surface of the gas cooker.
When cleaning the gas cooker, make sure that you do not damage or bend the heat sensors on the burners.
The gas burners should be cleaned with a brush at regular intervals.
