8.1 General
This section describes the servicing procedures that may
be performed with the heater installed.
8.2 Work on the Heater
Prior to performing any work, it is mandatory to disconnect
the vehicle battery main lead. As long as the heater is
in operation or in run-down, the battery main supply must

t be disconnected due to the danger of overheating
resulting in a response of the overheat protection. When
performing extensive repairs on the heater, a complete

a coolant mixture consisting of water and anti-freeze
mu
st be replenished in accordance with manufacturer
instru
ctions followed by a careful bleeding of the heating
circuit.
When performing repairs requiring a relocation of the
installation pos
ition, the relevant installation instructions
and the vehicle-specific installation proposal have to be
observed.
