2. Connection
Connect the vehicle to a PC (Windows/Mac). The programming device (item 8401) has a 2x3 pin plug that has to be
connected to the socket hidden under the fuel tank, just as the charger (fig. 5). However, the programming device does
not work in both plugging directions. Therefore, plug it in direction away from the vehicle (fig. 5). If the vehicle does not
switch on when the plug is plugged, you need to switch it on yourself.
Hint: Should, e. g. in case of a notebook, the power supply of the programming device be interrupted or the connection
to the CarManager be disconnected (e. g. by plugging the cable or closing the programme), the vehicle would start the
motor and move off.
Attention: The CarManager software must be downloaded from the website www.viessmann-modell.de. It is not deliv-
ered with the programmer!
Note: The latest version of the CarManager software can always be downloaded from the website www.viessmann-
modell.de. Always refer to the user manual provided with the latest software version.
