Operation of auxiliary heating

Danger.

Risk of fire and burns. There is a risk of fires and burns due to the high exhaust temperatures and the hot exhaust pipe for the auxiliary heating. For this reason, do not stop or park the bus over ignitable materials (e.g. grass) when the auxiliary heating is in operation, has recently been in operation or has been operated by the immediate heating button/preset clock.

Danger.

Risk of poisoning and suffocation. The auxiliary heating must not be used in enclosed spaces such as garages or workshops due to the risk of poisoning and suffocation. It must also not be used in timer or preselection mode.

Danger.

Risk of explosion. The auxiliary heating must be switched off at filling stations and fuel dispensing systems due to the risk of explosion.

Danger.

Risk of fire. The auxiliary heating must remain switched off in places where ignitable vapours or dust can accumulate (e.g. in the vicinity of filling stations, fuel, coal, sawdust and grain stores or similar).

Caution:

The heating unit must be operated for 10 minutes at least once a month (also during the warm season) when the engine is cold.
