Safety notes
DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate ventila‐
tion can allow harmful exhaust fumes to pollute
the area around the vehicle or enter it. The ex‐
haust fumes contain pollutants which are col‐
ourless and odourless. In enclosed spaces or
spaces with inadequate ventilation, the exhaust
fumes can also build up outside the vehicle.
There is a danger of fatal injury. Keep the ex‐
haust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ventila‐
tion. Do not switch on the standing air condi‐
tioning in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces,
for example closed garages.
WARNING
When the standing air conditioning is operating,
high temperatures can be generated under the
body, for example because of the exhaust sys‐
tem. If flammable materials come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system, these ma‐
terials can catch fire. There is a risk of fire.
Make sure that no flammable materials, for ex‐
ample leaves, grass, gas, petrol, oil or other
flammable objects, can come into contact with
vehicle parts when the standing air conditioning
is operating.
Enabling automatic engine start
The automatic engine start must be enabled be‐
fore using the system.
This enables the engine to switch on automati‐
cally in order to control the interior climate.
