During the journey
Pay attention to the following during the journey:
When starting to drive and at low speed, check the function of the brake system and the
brake behaviour (directional stability, function of overrun brake, etc.) by braking shortly.
Adjust your driving technique to the vehicle size, drive with consideration and foresight.
Drive slowly on poor roads.
Drive downhill at the same speed as uphill.
Switch to the next gear early enough.
Avoid braking abruptly.
Prevent jerky steering as this could cause the car/caravan combination to weave.
When driving over bridges, you have to anticipate crosswind. Because of the vehicle
size and height, a caravan is more sensitive to crosswind than a passenger car.
When overtaking truck-trailer combinations, the car/caravan combination can get into a
turbulence. Light counter-steering compensates this effect.
Do not underestimate the length of the car/caravan combination.
When turning into a road and when driving around bends, take the larger curve radius
of the car/caravan combination into consideration.
The braking distance of a car/caravan combination is considerably longer than that of a
passenger car. Please increase the safe distance accordingly.
When driving in reverse, always have a second person assist you because the rear view
mirrors can distort the distances differently.
At petrol stations or in garages, switch off all "open flames" operated with gas (also
refrigerator or heater).
Caution!
Risk of injury and damage to the vehicle
During positioning manoeuvres, when driving through passageways, bridges, tunnels
and with overhanging branches, observe the dimensions of the vehicle.
Dimensions of the vehicle, see vehicle documents.
Equipment and attachments change the weight and the dimensions.
From a technical point of view, ADRIA caravans are designed for a permissible maxi-
mum speed of 100 kph. This maximum speed must not be exceeded, not even when a
higher speed is allowed in the country being visited. Always pay attention to speed
restrictions in individual countries which may be different.
Important!

During the journey, persons or pets are not allowed to stay in the caravan.
