the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
Fan speed
Adjust the air flow by switching the fan
to the desired speed.

● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Set air distribution control to V.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.
Climate control121Rear air conditioning fan switch
The rear air conditioning fan assists
air flow to the rear passenger
compartment via the rear air vents.
Switch on the fan while the air
conditioning system is operating to
allow cooled and dehumidified (dried) air to be distributed.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The 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.
124Climate controlManual control
Depending on version, the auxiliary
heater can also be switched on for the
last duration time or the default
duration 30 minutes, or cut-off
immediately, using the button on the
lower part of the instrument panel,
beside the steering wheel.
The LED in the button confirms
operation.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery when the range
of the remote control is reduced or when the battery charge symbol
flashes.
Open the cover and replace the
battery (Type A: CR 2430, Type B: 2CR 11108, or equivalent), ensuring
the new battery is correctly installed
with the positive ( <) side facing the
positive terminals. Replace the cover
securely.
Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with environmental
regulations.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

set from ten to 120 minutes. Due to
the power consumption, note the
heating duration.
To switch off, select Y in the menu bar
again and press d.
Ventilation x
Select x in the menu bar and press
G to confirm.
Adjust the ventilation duration using k or l and confirm. The value can
be set from ten to 120 minutes. Due

Additional battery
Depending on the vehicle's auxiliary
equipment, certain models may have
an additional battery located under
the front passenger seat.
Note
The additional battery is
automatically connected to the main vehicle battery only when the engine
is running. It does not need to be manually disconnected before
disconnecting the main vehicle
battery or before jump starting the vehicle.
Jump starting 3 195.
Diesel fuel filter
The diesel fuel filter is accessible from the underside of the vehicle.
Drain filter of residual water at every
engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Loosen the knurled
screw on the lower part of the filter by
approx. one turn, to drain off the
water.
The filter is drained as soon as water- free diesel fuel emerges. Retighten
the screw.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
Diesel fuel system bleeding
If the fuel tank has been run dry, it will be necessary to air vent or bleed the
diesel fuel system.
Refuel then proceed as follows:
With ignition key
● Switch on the ignition (key to position 2) for five seconds at a
time.
● Switch off ignition (key to position
1 ) for three seconds.
