sonous exhaust gases
If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehi‐

the vehicle gets stuck in snow, for example.
Always switch the stationary heater off
#
in enclosed spaces without an air
extraction systems, e.g. in garages.
Keep the tailpipe and the area around
#
the vehicle free from snow when the
engine or the stationary heater are run‐
ning.
Open a window on the windward side of
#
the vehicle to ensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air.
