Note
•
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel consumption comes from the vehicle tank.
Therefore the auxiliary heating should not be operated, if there is very little fuel in
the tank.
•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
•
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometers in order to recharge the
vehicle battery.
•
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.
•
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment.This is quite normal and is not an operating
problem.
•
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short
period.
•
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does not switch on or comes on, if the
vehicle battery indicates a low loading state.
