The hot-water auxiliary hea ter has a heater boos‐

function. In addition, the auxiliary heating sy stem
heats the engine coolant toprotect the engine.
The stationary heater automatically adapts its
operating mode tochanges in outside temp era‐

The stationary heater will automatically swit ch

calculated based on the outside temp erature and
