Note

●

The maximum tensile load that the fas-

The retaining hooks have been designed to

secure light shopping bags.

Never use the retaining hooks as fastening

rings. In case of sudden braking or an acci-

ity shifts and there is greater wind resist-

ance.

Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a

negative effect on aerodynamics, the cen-

tre of gravity and driving performance.

Always secure the crossbars and the roof

sembly instructions that come with the cross-

bars and the roof carrier system in question

into account.

●

Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.

●

Adapt your speed and driving style at all

times to suit visibility, weather, road and

traffic conditions.

The crossbars are assembled on the roof rail-

●

Use only crossbars and the roof carrier

system when they are in perfect condition

and are properly secured.

Never exceed the load capacity of the

cross bars and the roof carrier system,

even if the maximum authorised roof load

has not been reached.

Always check the weight of the roof carrier

system, the cross bars and the weight of the

load to be transported and weigh them if

necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-

thorised roof load.

●

Secure the crossbars and the roof carrier

system properly.

●

Secure heavy items as far forward as

possible and distribute the vehicle load

uniformly.

Check threaded joints and attachments

travelling and if necessary tighten them af-

ter you have travelled a short distance.

When making long trips, check the threa-

ded joints whenever you stop for a rest.

If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier

with a lower weight rating, you will not be

able to carry the maximum authorised roof

load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-

mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is

listed in the fitting instructions.

WARNING

If the load is loose or not secured, it could

fall from the roof carrier system or cause

accidents and injuries.

●

Always fit the special roof carrier sys-

tems correctly for wheels, skis and surf-

boards, etc.

●

Always use belts or retaining straps that

are suitable and in a good condition.

Introduction

WARNING

After switching the engine on with a 12-volt

battery that is heavily discharged or newly

changed or after a jump start some system

settings (such as the time, the date, the

personalised comfort settings and the pro-

gramming) might be altered or deleted.

Check and correct these settings once the

battery is sufficiently charged.

The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes contain

carbon monoxide, an odourless and colour-

less toxic gas. Carbon monoxide can cause

people to lose consciousness. It can also

cause death.

The auxiliary heater runs on fuel from the ve-

hicle's tank and can be used while you are

driving and when the vehicle is stationary.

The auxiliary heater can be switched on using

the fast heating button of the air conditioning

controls, with the remote control or by previ-

ously programming a departure time in the

auxiliary heater menu of the infotainment sys-

tem.

Never switch on the auxiliary heater or

Air conditioning

The programmed departure time determines

the approximate time it should take to reach

the temperature set in the vehicle. The start of

the heating operation is determined automat-

ically depending on the outside temperature.

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 distribu-

tion.

●

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.

Checking the programming

When a departure time is activated and the

ignition is switched off the control lamp of the

fast heating button  lights up for approxi-

mately 10 seconds.

When will the auxiliary heater not be acti-

vated?

●

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 prob-

lems when starting the engine.

●

At temperatures below +5 °C (+41 °F), the

WARNING

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.

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 monoxide, an odourless

and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide

can cause people to lose consciousness. It

can also cause death.

●

The heating must be activated every time

you want to set off. Similarly, the departure

time must reactivate each time.

●

The control lamp  (fuel level indicator)

lights up.

Note

Operating instructions

●

Noises will be heard while the auxiliary

heater is running.

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 emissions

generated by the auxiliary heater are re-

moved via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath

the vehicle.

●

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.
