Winter operation
In the course of winter operation, condensa-
tion forms at low temperatures when the vehicle
is occupied. Sufficient ventilation plays a very
significant role in ensuring a suitable air quality
within the vehicle and preventing damage by
condensation.
Rules for ventilation:
• Set the heating element to the highest posi-
tion and open ceiling barriers, curtains and
shades while the vehicle is initially being heat-
ed. In doing this, you ensure optimum ventila-
tion and de-aeration.
• Only operate the heating element when the air
circulation unit is on.
• In the morning, remove all cushions, ventilate
all storage compartments and dry moist
spots.
• Install a chimney extension that is sufficiently
long.
If condensation should build up
somewhere in spite of these preven
-
tive measures, just wipe it away.
Frost protection measures
If the interior is sufficiently heated, it is unlikely
that the fresh water tank, taps and warm water
boiler would freeze. Only fill the fresh water tank
after the vehicle has been heated. We do recom
-
mend, however, an additional heating element
for the tank when exterior temperatures drop
sharply. Your dealer will show you several possi
-
bilities. (Not included)
Rules for the waste water tank:
• Add antifreeze or table salt to the waste water
in low temperatures.
• Catch waste water outside the vehicle.
• Keep the spout of the waste water tank open.
