| t | Vehicles with a high-voltage system (hybrid vehicles) and petrol engine are currently also fitted with a supplementary air heater element -Z35- → Chapter. |
| t | On vehicles with a petrol engine, the electric supplementary heating (supplementary air heater element -Z35-) is actuated by a signal from the operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit -J255- by way of the local data bus (via the same output by which the fresh air blower control unit -J126- is actuated) to the supplementary air heater control unit -J604-. In the event of problems with the fresh air blower control unit -J126- or the fresh air blower -V2- on these vehicles, also check the supplementary air heater control unit -J604- → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 and → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations. |
