Loose objects may be flung through the vehi-cle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre. This can cause serious injury and can also lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
• Do not stow any pets or any hard, heavy or sharp objects in the vehicle's open stow-age compartments, in the luggage net, on the dash panel, on the shelf behind the rear seats or in items of clothing and bags in the vehicle interior.
• Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
A WARNING
Objects in the driver footweli can hinder ped-al operation. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and increase the risk of serious injury.
• Please ensure that all pedals can always be operated without any hindrance.
• The foot mats must always be properly se-cured in the footwell.
• No additional foot mats or other floor cov-erings should be placed over the fitted foot mat.
• Ensure that no objects can enter the driv-er footwell while the vehicle is in motion.
• If there are any objects in the footwell, re-move them when the vehicle is parked.
A WARNING
Improper use of the stowage compartments can cause serious injury.
• Never fill stowage compartments beyond their capacity.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always take care when closing stowage compartments that nobody is within their functional area.
A WARNING
Cigarette lighters in the vehicle could be damaged or accidentally lit. This could lead to serious burns and other injuries.
• Before adjusting the seats always make sure that there is no lighter on or near the moveable parts of the seat.
• Before closing stowage areas or compart-ments always ensure that there is no lighter in the way.
• Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the ve-hicle. Cigarette lighters may self-ignite on high-temperature surfaces, especially in sum-mer.
CD
• Hard objects on the shelf can chafe against the wires of the heating element in the rear win-dow and cause damage.
• Do not store any heat-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot and cold temperatures could damage them or ren-der them unusable.
• Objects stored in the vehicle that are made from transparent materials, such as glasses, magnifying glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause damage to the vehi-cle.
m Always ensure that the ventilation openings L!J between the rear window and the stowage area are uncovered to allow stale air to escape from the vehicle. Equipment, California I 211

Using the refrigerator box
r--('n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The suspended basket in the refrigerator box is for cooling food. The temperature is lower under the basket than inside it. Closed containers or glass bottles are less likely to burst if they are stored in the basket rather than on the bottom of the refrig-erator box .& in Introduction on page 241.
The additional battery will discharge if the refriger-ator box is used for a long period while the engine is switched off and the 230-volt connection is not used.
Before the refrigerator box is used for the first time, it should be cleaned thoroughly using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Cleaning the refrigerator box
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 241.
The refrigerator box works independently of the engine and the ignition. lt is fed exclusively by the additional battery. The refrigerator box is switched on and off and regulated using the central control panel.
As far as possible, keep food and drinks in the re-frigerator box in leak-proof containers. Do not over-fill the refrigerator box such that air circulation is impaired.
Cool the refrigerator box before placing food items and drinks in it. Items you wish to keep in the re-frigerator box should be removed from your house-hold fridge/freezer just before you start your jour-ney. When shopping during a journey, we recom-mend items from shop fridges/freezers be placed in the refrigerator box as quickly as possible. • Clean the refrigerator box using a household detergent before using it for the first time, as well as when it becomes soiled.
• To prevent mould and mildew from forming in the refrigerator box when it is not being used for long periods, place a folded dry towel between the box and its lid. Power supply in the vehicle, California

Electrical equipment can be connected to the sock-ets in the vehicle.
The connected devices must be in good condition. Do not use faulty devices.
2421 Before the journey
There are two separate power circuits in the vehi-cle:
• 12-volt DC circuit
• 230-volt AC circuit
12-volt DC circuit
Power is supplied as standard from the additional batteries under the left front seat and in the ward-robe to the following 12-volt consumers:
• Interior lights in the living area
• 12-volt sockets in the living area
• 230-volt Euro socket in the side trim panel be-hind the left front seat
• Central control panel
• Refrigerator box

The batteries will become depleted if electrical consumers such as the auxiliary heater, refrigera-tor box or interior lights are used while the vehicle is stationary for long periods of time without re-charging the batteries. If the battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts, the auxiliary heater cannot be switched on.
The battery compartment and the battery charger are designed specifically for the factory-fitted AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries &.
Additional batteries
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings & on page 242.
The factory-fitted AGM batteries are located under the left front seat and in the wardrobe. They have deep discharge protection.
Should the additional batteries be subjected to deep discharge over a long period of time, they could be destroyed.
You can prevent deep discharge by:
• switching off the central control panel after charging,
• removing the fuses for the fresh water pump and the pop-up roof as necessary 249.
AGM batteries are maintenance free. do not leak their electrolyte, are robust and have extremely low gas emissions.
When should the additional battery be charged?
• If the additional battery is not charged by the al-ternator while the engine is running, the additional battery must be charged on the battery charger at regular intervals -every 4 weeks at the latest-for at least 12 hours.
• The additional battery must be recharged for at least 12 hours before the start of a journey if the battery has not been used for an extended period (e.g. seasonal use).
248 I Before the JOurney
A WARNING
If a conventional battery Is charged it will give off a highly explosive mixture of gases.
• Use only AGM batteries of the same type (batteries with the electrolyte absorbed Into a special fibreglass matting) and with the same specifications as the factory-fitted batteries.
• Never use conventional batteries (wet cells with liquid electrolyte). A WARNING
