Using the refrigerator box
r--('n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The suspended basket in the refrigerator box is for cooling food. The temperature is lower under the basket than inside it. Closed containers or glass bottles are less likely to burst if they are stored in the basket rather than on the bottom of the refrig-erator box .& in Introduction on page 241.
The additional battery will discharge if the refriger-ator box is used for a long period while the engine is switched off and the 230-volt connection is not used.
Before the refrigerator box is used for the first time, it should be cleaned thoroughly using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Cleaning the refrigerator box
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The refrigerator box works independently of the engine and the ignition. lt is fed exclusively by the additional battery. The refrigerator box is switched on and off and regulated using the central control panel.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the re-frigerator box in leak-proof containers. Do not over-fill the refrigerator box such that air circulation is impaired.
Cool the refrigerator box before placing food items and drinks in it. Items you wish to keep in the re-frigerator box should be removed from your house-hold fridge/freezer just before you start your jour-ney. When shopping during a journey, we recom-mend items from shop fridges/freezers be placed in the refrigerator box as quickly as possible. • Clean the refrigerator box using a household detergent before using it for the first time, as well as when it becomes soiled.
• To prevent mould and mildew from forming in the refrigerator box when it is not being used for long periods, place a folded dry towel between the box and its lid. Power supply in the vehicle, California

• 230-volt AC circuit
12-volt DC circuit
Power is supplied as standard from the additional batteries under the left front seat and in the ward-robe to the following 12-volt consumers:
• Interior lights in the living area
• 12-volt sockets in the living area
• 230-volt Euro socket in the side trim panel be-hind the left front seat
• Central control panel
• Refrigerator box

-Do not connect any lights which use neon tubes.
-Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the socket.
-With electrical devices that require a high level of current in the start phase, the built-in excess current switch will prevent the de-vice from being switched on. If this hap-pens, disconnect the device from the power supply and reconnect after waiting approxi-mately 10 seconds.

2441 Before the journey
Do not leave the engine running when the ve-f!JS hide is stationary.
m Using electrical appliances with the engine W switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the battery.
m Unshielded devices can cause interference W with radio/navigation system reception and vehicle electronics.
m Functional problems may occur with some W devices when they are connected to the 230-volt Euro socket due to the lower power output (wattage). • In the front, either in the stowage compartment or in the ashtray (depending on equipment op-tions), and in the rear in the luggage compartment.
• In the roof frame of the pop-up roof.
Electrical equipment can be connected to the 12-volt sockets in the vehicle.
The maximum power rating is 120 watts. Do not exceed the maximum power rating. This also ap-plies to the total power consumption of all connec-ted devices if you connect several devices at the same time * m The 12-volt socket in the dash panel is sup-L!J plied with power from the vehicle battery in the engine compartment. Using electrical applian-ces with the engine switched off will drain the bat-tery.

The batteries will become depleted if electrical consumers such as the auxiliary heater, refrigera-tor box or interior lights are used while the vehicle is stationary for long periods of time without re-charging the batteries. If the battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts, the auxiliary heater cannot be switched on.
The battery compartment and the battery charger are designed specifically for the factory-fitted AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries &.
Additional batteries
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 242.
The factory-fitted AGM batteries are located under the left front seat and in the wardrobe. They have deep discharge protection.
Should the additional batteries be subjected to deep discharge over a long period of time, they could be destroyed.
You can prevent deep discharge by:
• switching off the central control panel after charging,
• removing the fuses for the fresh water pump and the pop-up roof as necessary 249.
AGM batteries are maintenance free. do not leak their electrolyte, are robust and have extremely low gas emissions.
When should the additional battery be charged?
• If the additional battery is not charged by the al-ternator while the engine is running, the additional battery must be charged on the battery charger at regular intervals -every 4 weeks at the latest-for at least 12 hours.
• The additional battery must be recharged for at least 12 hours before the start of a journey if the battery has not been used for an extended period (e.g. seasonal use).
248 I Before the JOurney
A WARNING
If a conventional battery Is charged it will give off a highly explosive mixture of gases.
• Use only AGM batteries of the same type (batteries with the electrolyte absorbed Into a special fibreglass matting) and with the same specifications as the factory-fitted batteries.
• Never use conventional batteries (wet cells with liquid electrolyte). A WARNING

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.

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
