8 Regulation of auxiliary heater Ther‐

mo Top V
The auxiliary heater is intended to heat coolant.
Various operating modes can be set depending on heat required
in heating circuit:
Note
One method of switching off the auxiliary heater is to press the

ECON button.
8.1 Functional description of auxiliary heat‐

er Thermo Top V
Temperature at temperature sensor -G18- less than 50 °C.
Temperature at ambient temperature sensor -G17- must be be‐
low approx. +5 °C.
Turning on the switch enables operation of the auxiliary heater.
The glow plug with flame monitor -Q8- , the combustion air blower
-V6- and the circulation pump -V55- begin to operate. After 30
seconds, the metering pump -V54- is switched on and the com‐
bustion air blower -V6- is switched off for 3 seconds. Then the
combustion air blower -V6- runs up in two stages to nearly full
load within 56 seconds. After a stabilisation phase (attaining
steady motor speed) of 15 seconds, the combustion air blower -
V6- is again brought up to nearly full load in a 50-second stage.
After reaching full-load fuel delivery, the glow plug with flame
monitoring -Q8- is switched off and the combustion air blower -
V6- is brought up to full load. During the next 45 seconds as well
as during normal operation, the glow plug with flame monitoring
-Q8- assumes the task of flame monitoring and checks flame de‐
velopment. Then the automatically regulated heating operation
begins. If no flame develops or the flame extinguishes, then the
fuel supply is interrupted and a malfunction shut-down occurs with
the combustion air blower -V6- continuing in run-on mode. If the
flame is extinguished during normal operation, a new start is au‐
tomatically initiated.
8.1.1 Preheating mode

Once the coolant temperature has reached 84 °C, the control unit
switches to the energy-saving part load mode. If the coolant tem‐
perature continues to rise above 88° C, the control unit switches
to the regulated waiting period. If the coolant temperature does
not drop below 76 °C within 900 seconds during the controlled
waiting period, the heating unit will start with the normal start pro‐
cedure in full-load mode when the coolant temperature does drop
below 76 °C.

8.1.2 Auxiliary heating mode

Switching on auxiliary heating mode in vehicles without an air
conditioning system:
– Press immediate heating button -1-.
Switching on auxiliary heating mode in vehicles with Climatic air

conditioning system:
Switching on auxiliary heating mode in vehicles with Climatronic:

Once the coolant temperature has reached 82 °C, the control unit
switches to the energy-saving part load mode. If the coolant tem‐
perature continues to rise above 88° C, the control unit switches
to the regulated waiting period. If the coolant temperature does
not drop below 70 °C within 900 seconds during the controlled
waiting period, the heating unit will start with the normal start pro‐
cedure in full-load mode when the coolant temperature does drop
below 65 °C.
8.1.3 Switching off

When switched off manually or after a maximum operating time
of 60 minutes or the coolant reaches a temperature of 84° C,
combustion is ended and the post-operation mode begins. The
circulation pump -V55- and the combustion air blower -V6- , how‐
ever, continue to run to cool down the auxiliary heater (post-
operation mode) and are switched off automatically.
Note
The post-operation period of the circulation pump -V55- and the

combustion air blower -V6- depend on the operating mode in
which the auxiliary heater was switched off.
The post-operation period is 175 seconds when heater is switch‐

ed off during full-load operation and 110 seconds for part-load
operation.
Depending on the control unit software version, slight deviations
in the specified post-operation values are possible.
8. Regulation of auxiliary heater Thermo Top V 35

8.2 Remote control operation
Note
♦ The auxiliary coolant heater can be switched on and off from

a distance of up to 600 metres (open space) using the remote
control. This range is restricted in built-up areas or from build‐
ings.
♦ The remote control should be held upright when operating the
buttons (the radio signals can be received optimally by the ve‐
hicle aerial in this way and the greatest transmission range is
achieved).
♦ Following disconnection of the vehicle battery, the auxiliary
heater remote control does not have to be re-adapted.
♦ The basic setting should be carried out using the VAS tester
if the remote control has been renewed.
8.2.1 Switching auxiliary heater on using re‐

mote control
– Press button -1-, the warning lamp -2- must light up green.
The operating period of the auxiliary heater is determined by the
remote control unit when the heater is switched on (a time com‐
ponent is included in the switching signal). This time component
is stored permanently in the remote control and cannot be
changed.
8.2.2 Switching auxiliary heater off using re‐

mote control
– Press button -3-, the warning lamp -2- must light up red.
The auxiliary heater switches to run-on and then off.
8.2.3 Renewing remote control batteries
Note
♦ Note installation position of batteries.

♦ Only use batteries of the same type with a voltage of 12 volts.
♦ Allocation of the remote control to the auxiliary heater remains
intact. Re-adapting is not necessary.

– Take off battery cover -1- and remove batteries. Insert new
batteries and replace cover.
