Operation  
Range  
For the sake of the environment  
Please dispose of your used batteries  
tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes  
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless  
and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide  
can cause people to lose consciousness. It  
can also cause death.  
The receiver 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.  
correctly and with respect for the environ-  
ment.  
The remote control battery may contain  
perchlorate. Observe the legal provisions  
regarding disposal.  
Usage instructions  
Care should be taken so as not to operate  
the remote control unintentionally so as to  
prevent the auxiliary heater being switched  
on accidentally.  
WARNING  
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located  
below the vehicle 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.  
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.  
Programming the auxiliary heater  
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.  
The activation of the parking ventilation for a  
scheduled time is only valid for a single venti-  
lation process. The departure time must be  
for each newly programmed ventilation  
process.  
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.  
If you suspect that someone may have  
swallowed a battery, seek immediate medi-  
cal attention.  
Before programming the departure time, you  
must check that the date and time of the car  
are correctly set.  
CAUTION  
The radio frequency remote control con-

on  
When programming a departure time, the  
car automatically calculates, depending on  
the environmental conditions, the necessary

tains electronic components. Therefore,  
avoid getting it wet and exposing it to  
knocks or direct sunlight.  
The auxiliary heater requires about as  
much power 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.  
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.  
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-
