CONTROLS

EQUIPMENT
General description
The thermal box
is
powered by an additional
battery
and can
only operate
on 12
Voits.
Depending on the model version, the box
is
located
in
the
seat
runners
in
the
passenger
compartment
or in the
luggage
compart-
ment.
Warning
•
When the vehicle is in
motion,
the lid of the thermal box must be
closed and locked. The thermal
box must also be in the
seat
runners and be securely engaged
in the driving position.
•
If the thermal box is to be
transported without being in-
stalled (e.g. in the
luggage
com-
partment), the lid must be closed
and locked. Furthermore, you
must secure the thermal box so
that it does not become a safety
hazard during an accident or
braking manoeuvre.
The box works almost completely indepen-
dent of incline and without the engine being
switched
on.
A battery monitor integrated in
the
lid
ensures that the battery will
always
be able to start the engine.
The battery monitor
will
switch off the ther-
mal
box
automatically
if
the voltage
of the
additional battery falls below 11.5 Volt.
The
thermal
box
will switch
back
on
automati-
cally once
the
battery voltage
has
reached
12.8 Volt.
It is
possible to keep drinks and food either
cool
or
warm
in
the thermal box.
The
ther-
mal
box has a
capacity
of
approx.
32
litres.
The power consumption
is
approximately
33 Watt.
The interior temperature
is
dependent
on
the surrounding temperature of the thermal
box. When cooling
it
can be
a
maximum
of
20
°C
lower than the ambient temperature
and
35 °C
above when keeping items
warm.
The thermal
box
will switch
off
automati-
cally
if
the interior temperature reaches ap-
prox.
65°C.
Please do not place any items of
clothing or any other articles on the
cooling/warming unit of the thermal
box. The intake opening could be
blocked and switch off the box as a
result.
The runner system
in the
passenger
com-
partment also
makes
it
possible to position
the thermal
box
behind the driver's seat.
You might, however, need a special 12 Volt
extension cable
for
the power supply.
Refrigerating
If the surrounding temperature of
the thermal box is low, the interior
temperature could fall below
+2°C
when
refrigerating. The items in the
thermal box could freeze!
•
Place
the
extension cable plug
in the
socket
of the
thermal
box so
that the blue
marking
on
the cable points to the notch
-
see illustration.
•
The
electricity supply
is
then
sot up by
putting the plug into
the
12V socket.
Warming operation
The containers and contents that
you
place in the thermal box may be
no
warmer than
50°C.
The warming
unit of the thermal box could other-
wise be damaged. The containers
will also become hot.
•
Place
the
extension cable plug
in the
socket
of the
thermal
box so
that
the red
marking
on
the cable points
to the
notch
-
see illustration.
•
The
electricity supply
is
then
set up by
putting the plug into the 12V socket.
Opening
and
closing
the lid
Warning
•
Always close the lid of the
thermal box before driving. The
lid could fall shut and possibly
cause
injury
if the car stops
suddenly.
•
Whilst the vehicle is in
motion,
the lid of the thermal box must,
for safety reasons, always be
closed and locked.
Opening
•
Press
the lock
1
on the lid
to
the front.
•
Lift
the lid of the thermal box. When fully
opened,
the lid will
be
held
in
position
by a
support
- see
illustration.
Closing
Fold down the lid
of
the thermal
box
until
it
is fully engaged.
