The rooftop air-conditioning system has been designed and built
in accordance with EC Directives.

The system is safe if it is installed properly and used according to
the installation and service instructions.
•
If the Citysphere S is retrofitted, the empty weight and possibly
the height of the vehicle are changed. Then, within the scope of
the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) an
official acceptance inspection and an appropriate entry into the
vehicle documents according to Section 19 of the StVZO is
required. Outside the scope of the StVZO can apply appropriate
rules. The vehicle owner is responsible for the entry in the vehicle

system must be arranged in the vehicle in such a way that their
correct functioning cannot be impaired under normal operating

the closed refrigerant circuit or in its vicinity. The heating will
cause a rise in the circuit pressure. There is a danger of
explosion.
