Air conditioning
To achieve sufficient heating power, cooling
and v entil
ation in the int
erior, the vents should
be left open.
Key to the Fig. 141:
Adjustable air vents: the vent slats can be
used to open and close the vents and to
adjust air direction. For the air to reach
1 the windows as best as possible, open the
corr
esponding v
ent and t
urn it to the de-
frost/demist position, where it will en-
gage.
Non-adjustable air vents
There are more vents in the footwell areas
and at the back of the interior. 2 CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other tem-
perat ur
e-sensitive objects close to the air
vents. Food, medicines and other objects
sensitive to heat or cold may be damaged
or made unsuitable for use by the air com-
ing from the vents. Tips and instructions for use

Reasons why the cooling switches off au-
tomatically or will not switch on
Driving
Electronic differential lock (EDS)
EDL is av ail
abl
e when driving in straight lines
under normal conditions. When the EDL de-
tects wheelspin, it brakes the spinning wheel
and directs the power to the other one. To
prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The EDL
will switch on again automatically when the
brake has cooled down. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery or wet
ground can r esult in l
oss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.
Start and driving
In all cases the automatic gearbox must be
check ed at a specialised w
orkshop
.
Automatic gearbox overheating
The automatic gearbox can overheat with a
prolonged start up, or when stopping and
starting continuously. This overheating is dis-
played with a warning lamp in the instru- ment panel. Additionally, an audible warning
can be heard. Stop and let the gearbox cool
Practical tips
However, the heating power and the propor-
tion of nitr ogen and carbon dio
xide can fluc-
t
uate within the quality groups. Therefore, ve-
hicle consumption can also vary when using
a single type of gas only.
The engine management automatically
adapts to the natural gas used according to
its quality. Therefore, different quality gases
can be mixed in the tank, without the need for
comprehensive draining before applying a
different quality gas.
Natural gas and safety
If you can smell gas or suspect that there is a
leak
