During the journey
Pay attention to the following during the journey:
When starting to drive and still at slow speed, brake shortly to check the function of the
brake system and the braking behaviour (exact tracking etc.).
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 vehicle to swerve.
When driving over bridges, you have to anticipate crosswind. Because of the vehicle
size and height, the vehicle is more sensitive to crosswind than a passenger car.
The vehicle can get into a turbulence when overtaking truck-trailer combinations. Light
counter-steering compensates this effect.
Do not underestimate the length of the vehicle.
When turning into a road and when driving around bends, take the larger curve radius
of the vehicle into consideration.
The braking distance of the vehicle is considerably longer than that of a passenger car.
Please increase the safety 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.
Vehicles from 3.5 t to 7.5 t are designed for a maximum speed of 100 kph. This maxi-
mum speed must not be exceeded, not even when a higher speed is allowed in the
country being visited.
Important!
•
Persons as well as pets must be seated on seats equipped with suitable restraining
devices while travelling in the vehicle.
•
While the motorhome is in motion, nobody may remain in the alcove, the beds and the
bathroom unit.
