the ignition to remove any ice, mist or snow from the windscreen (thin layers

WARNING
The auxiliary heater fumes contain carbon dioxide, an odourless and
colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose conscious-
ness. It can also cause death.
Never switch on the auxiliary heater or leave it running in places that
are enclosed or unventilated.
Never programme the independent heating system to be activated and
operated in closed, unventilated areas.
WARNING
The components of the auxiliary heater exhaust system heat up a great
deal. This could cause a fire.
Always park your vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can
come in contact with flammable materials (such as dried grass).
