Air conditioning
Range
The r
eceiv
er is inside the vehicle. The re-
mote control, when fitted with new batteries,
has a range of several hundred metres. Ob-
stacles between the remote control and the
vehicle, bad weather conditions and dis-
charged batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control.
WARNING
Swallowing a battery with a 20 mm diame-
ter or any other button battery can cause
serious and even fatal injuries within a very
short time.
●
Always keep the remote control, keyrings
with batteries, the spare batteries, button
batteries and all other batteries over 20
mm out of reach of children.
●
If you suspect that someone may have
swallowed a battery, seek immediate medi-
cal attention.
CAUTION
●
The radio frequency remote control con-
tains electronic components. Therefore,
avoid getting it wet and exposing it to
knocks or direct sunlight.
●
The use of inappropriate batteries may
damage the radio frequency remote con-
trol. For this reason, always replace the
used battery with another of the same volt-
age, size and specifications.
For the sake of the environment
●
Please dispose of your used batteries
correctly and with respect for the environ-
ment.
●
The remote control battery may contain
perchlorate. Observe the legal provisions
regarding disposal.
●
Care should be taken so as not to operate
the remote control unintentionally so as to
prevent the auxiliary heater being switched
on accidentally.
Programming the auxiliary heater*
The activation of the parking ventilation for a
scheduled time is only v
alid f
or a single venti-
lation process. The departure time must be
for each newly programmed ventilation
process.
Before programming the departure time, you
must check that the date and time of the car
are correctly set.
When programming a departure time, the
car automatically calculates, depending on
the environmental conditions, the necessary
operating time of the parking ventilation.
WARNING
Never programme the auxiliary heater so
that it switches itself on and is running in an
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-
tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes
contain carbon mono
xide, an odourless
and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.
Usage instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
below the v
ehicle must be kept clear of
snow, mud and other objects. The exhaust
fumes must be able to exit freely. The emis-
sions generated by the auxiliary heater are
removed via an exhaust pipe fitted under-
neath the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending
on the outside temperature, the warm air is
first directed at the windscreen and then to
the rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the
windows for example – can affect air distri-
bution.
When the auxiliary heater is not switched
on
●
The auxiliary heater requires about as
much pow
er as the dipped beam headlights.
If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the
auxiliary heater switches off automatically
and cannot be switched on. This avoids
problems when starting the engine.
