Important safety notes G
Warning
Exhaust fumes are produced while the
auxiliary heating system

is in operation. If you
breathe in these exhaust fumes, you could be
poisoned. Therefore, always switch off the
auxiliary heating in enclosed spaces without
an extraction system, e.g. a garage. G
Warning
Parts of the vehicle can become very hot
during operation of the auxiliary heating.
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
under any circumstances come into contact
with highly flammable material such as dry
grass or fuels. Otherwise, the highly
flammable material could ignite and set the
vehicle alight.
Auxiliary heating operation is prohibited at
gas stations or when your vehicle is being
refueled. Therefore, the auxiliary heating
must be switched off at gas stations. G
Warning
When transporting hazardous materials,
always observe the relevant safety
regulations.
