Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switch on / off
Remote control
The auxiliary heating heats the vehicle interior as well as the engine. For heat-
ing, fuel is consumed from the fuel tank.
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior with
the engine switched off, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) (hereafter referred to
as auxiliary heating) ensures the heating / ventilation depending on the set-
ting of the air conditioning and the air outlet vents before switching off the ig-
nition.
WARNING
The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
■
es) – There is a risk of poisoning!
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
■
of fire.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
■
the vehicle. If you want to use the auxiliary heating, do not park the vehicle
in places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable
materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - There is
a risk of fire.
