Operating the climate control system
174
Store the remote control for the auxiliary
heating so that the auxiliary heating cannot
be switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxili-
ary heating is kept out of the reach of chil-
dren.
The remote control has a range of approx-
imately 300 metres. This range is reduced by:
sources of radio interference
R
solid objects between the remote control
R
and the vehicle
the remote control being in an unfavoura-
R
ble position in relation to the vehicle
transmitting from an enclosed space
R
i
The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.
If the remote control battery is low, the bat-
tery symbol on the left of the display is shown
as empty. Replace the remote control battery
and observe the important safety notes when
doing so ( page 175).
