When operated with 12 V, the refrigerator is power-supplied by the starter bat-
tery of the towing vehicle (via the thirteen-pin connector). Therefore 12 V oper-
ation of the refrigerator is only possible while the engine of the towing vehicle
is running. During prolonged driving breaks, change over to gas operation.
The thermostat is not activated during 12 V operation. The refrigerator oper-
ates continuously.
