Keep the exhaust pipe free and ensure suffi‐
cient ventilation. Do not switch on stationary cli‐
mate control in enclosed areas or areas with in‐
sufficient ventilation, e.g. in enclosed garages.
Warning
When stationary climate control is in operation,
high temperatures can occur underneath the
body, for instance caused by the exhaust gas
system. If combustible materials, such as
leaves or grass, come in contact with hot parts
of the exhaust gas system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire. Make sure that no
combustible materials can come in contact with
hot vehicle parts during stationary climate con‐
trol operation, e.g. leaves, grass, gas, gasoline,
oil or other combustible objects.
