Care

Cleaning the ventilation grill:
„
Use a brush to remove coarse dirt or deposits from the external ventilation
grilles. If a cleaning solution is used, ensure that no water ingresses into
the inside of the housing.
11.6 Winter care
De-icing salt damages the underbody and the parts open to water spray. We
recommend that you wash the vehicle more frequently during wintertime.
Mechanical and surface treated parts and the underside are under particular
strain, and should therefore be cleaned thoroughly.
11.6.1 Preparations
„
Check the vehicle for paint and rust damage. Repair damage as neces-
sary.
„
Make certain that water cannot penetrate the automatic floor ventilation
system and the heater.
„
Use a wax-based rust inhibitor to protect the metal parts of the underbody.
„
Use appropriate protection for external painted surfaces.
11.6.2 Winter operation
During winter operation, condensation develops when the vehicle is occupied
under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality and
avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essential.
„
When heating the vehicle, the heater should be at the highest setting and
roof storage cabinets, curtains and blinds should be opened. This ensures
optimal ventilation.
„
Only heat if the circulation system is switched on.
„
In the morning, lift up all cushions, air out storage boxes and dry any damp
areas.
Z
If there is any risk of frost, always run heater at a minimum of 15 °C. Switch
the circulation fan (if there is one) to automatic. In the case of extreme
external temperatures, the furniture flaps and doors should be left slightly
open. The inflowing warm air can help prevent the freezing of water pipes,
for example, and counteract the formation of condensation in the storage
spaces.
Z
If there is any risk of frost, cover the outside surface of the windows with
winter insulation mats.
Z
Keep waste gas vents and forced ventilations free of snow. Use a vent
extension, if necessary.
Z
If condensation has still developed, just wipe it off.
Z
It is only possible to guarantee unrestricted operation during winter for
models without double floor in connection with the "winter package" from
the original equipment.
