LED in the remote control
The LED indicates various operating states after you press a button → Fig. 1 2 .
Lights up green: auxiliary heater and auxiliary ventilation switched on.
Flashes green at regular intervals: switch-on signal not received. Reduce your distance from the vehicle.
Flashes green at irregular intervals: auxiliary heater and auxiliary ventilation blocked.
Operation of the auxiliary heater and auxiliary ventilation will be blocked if one of the following conditions applies:
—The fuel tank is almost empty.
— The voltage of the 12-volt vehicle battery is too low.
—There is a system fault.
1. Refuel the vehicle.
2. Drive the vehicle for a sufficiently long distance in order to charge the 12-volt vehicle battery.
3. If the fault persists, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
Lights up red: auxiliary heater switched off.
Flashes red at regular intervals: switch-off signal not received. Reduce your distance from the vehicle.
Flashes or lights up orange: the button cell in the remote control is weak. Replace the button cell.
Range
The remote control has a range of several hundred metres when the button cell is charged and under ideal conditions.
—Keep a distance of at least 2 m (7 ft) between the remote control and the vehicle.
—Avoid obstacles between the remote control and vehicle.
—Hold the remote control with the chrome trim → Fig. 1 1 pointing vertically upwards.
—Do not cover the aerial.
Poor weather conditions, nearby buildings or a weak button cell will significantly reduce the range.
DANGER
The emissions from the auxiliary heater contain carbon monoxide, which is an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon
monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.
● Never switch on the auxiliary heater or leave the auxiliary heater running if the vehicle is located in enclosed or unventilated
spaces.
● Never program the auxiliary heater so that it is switched on and runs in unventilated or enclosed spaces.
WARNING
Parts of the auxiliary heater’s exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires.
● Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle, e.g. dry grass.
● Before refuelling, switch off the auxiliary heater.
NOTICE
The remote control contains electronic components which can be damaged by moisture, strong vibrations and direct sunlight.
● Protect the remote control from moisture, strong vibrations and direct sunlight.
