Note
Noises will be heard while the auxiliary
●
heater is running.
When the air humidity is high and the in-
●
side temperature low, condensation from
the heating and ventilating system may
evaporate when the auxiliary heater is
switched on. In this case, steam may be re-
leased from underneath the vehicle. This
does not mean that there is a vehicle mal-
function.
If the vehicle is tilted, e.g. if parked on a
●
slope, the operation of the auxiliary heater
may be restricted if the fuel tank level is
low (just above the reserve level).
If the auxiliary heater is used a number of
●
times for a long period of time, the 12-volt
battery will lose its charge. To recharge the
battery, the vehicle must be driven for a
number of kilometres from time to time. As
a guideline: the journey should last approx-
imately as long as the heater was connec-
ted.
At temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the
●
auxiliary heater may switch itself on auto-
matically when the engine is switched on.
The auxiliary heater is switched off again
after a certain time.
