Technical data
Cabin heater K2 (400 127 783) can be run at 600 W
(LOW) or 1500 W (HIGH).
Cabin heater K3 (400 127 791) can be run at 1250
W (LOW) or 2100 W (HIGH).
These outputs apply at -25°C and with a free flow of
air. The heater element regulates power output
depending on the ambient temperature and airflow
through the fan.
The cabin heater has a thermostatic shut-off that
cuts the power to the heater element and the fan
motor should the temperature exceed the permitted
limit. The thermostatic shut-off will trip if air circula-
tion is insufficient, such as if the intake or outlet grille
is covered. The fan will cease to operate if the shut-
off trips.
Cabin heater K2: To reset the thermostatic shut-off:
1 Unplug the heater. Allow the heater to cool.
2 Depress the black button located in the heater's
outlet grille.
You should hear a distinct click.
Cabin heater K3: The thermostatic shut-off cannot
be reset but must be replaced. Contact your reseller.
WARNING
Tools must not be used as they can damage the
heater element or the thermal circuit breaker. This
can cause a short circuit and a fire.

1 Insert the wire stand into the holes on the
reverse of the cabin heater.
2 Place the cabin heater in front of the passenger
seat with the intake grille facing forward in the
car.
3 If there is a rubber or textile mat, lift this up and
place it over the wire stand.
4 Plug in the heater and select an appropriate
power setting.
WARNING
The cabin heater must not be stored in the pas-
senger compartment while the car is in use. In the
event of an accident where the car rolls over, for
example, the heater can be sent flying and cause
serious personal injury.
Important
Place the heater so that it does not come into con-
tact with the seat covering which may otherwise
risk being worn or discoloured.

WARNING
The cabin heater must be connected to a ground-
ed socket. The ground connection must be unin-
terrupted, all the way from the cabin heater, via the
car's connector plug to a grounded electrical out-
let.
For safe operation:
·Regularly check the integrity of the circuit
between the supply connector plug's ground
pin and the ground connection in the cabin
socket.
·Handle all cables with care. Take special care
to ensure that the cables do not get caught or
trapped nor cut by sharp sheet metal parts.
·Regularly inspect the connection cable for
signs of damage and aging. If the cable is dam-
aged it must be replaced immediately.
