SAFETY & SECURITY
SAFETY
Important: Your attention is drawn to the
notice affixed in the motorhome advising on
fire prevention, ventilation and what to do in
case of fire.
Emergency Exit
WARNING : Your vehicle is fitted with
deadlocks, on all doors, as part of the
Peugeot security system. These are
activated when the ‘Lock’ button on the key
fob is pressed twice in succession, and
means that the doors cannot be opened
even if entry has been gained to the inside,
through a broken window for instance.
However, this also means that in an
emergency, exit from the vehicle may be
delayed if the key fob has been used to lock
the vehicle with people inside, and is not
immediately to hand.
In order to avoid this possibility it is
important that the vehicle is not locked
using the key fob when people are inside,
at night for instance.
Instead, use the central locking button on
the facia (adjacent to the hazard warning
lamp switch) to lock the vehicle.
This will lock the vehicle from the outside,
without applying the deadlocks, but means
that the doors can still be opened
immediately from inside by pulling the door
release lever.
Please refer to the Peugeot handbook
section on ‘Access’ for further details, and
note carefully the warnings given there
also.
Children
Do not leave children alone in the motorhome
in any event, keep potentially dangerous items
out of reach as at home. e.g. matches, drugs,
etc.
WARNING: When upper bunks are used by
children especially under six years of age
care shall be taken against the risk of them
falling out.
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
located by the main exit door at all times.
A pan fire should not have an extinguisher
aimed at it but be smothered with a fire
blanket (which should be stored by the
cooker).
In case of fire
1. Get everyone out of the motorhome as
quickly as possible using whichever exit is
the quickest including windows. Do not
stop to collect any personal items.
2. Raise the alarm — Call the fire brigade.
3. Turn off gas container valve if safe to do
so.
Ventilation and Condensation
The ventilation points on your motorhome are
fixed points of ventilation which are stated by
the European Standards. Under no
circumstances must these vents be blocked or
obstructed. It is advised that fixed ventilation
points and any protective screens are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a
regular basis.
It is recommended that any elevating roofs be
raised when the motorhome is used for
habitation purposes.
Fresh air circulation should be allowed below
the motorhome when appliances are in use
and when flues terminate below the floor to
allow free evacuation of the products of
combustion. At least three sides of the
underfloor space should always be kept open
and unobstructed especially by snow. Do not
make any additional openings in the floor.
Under no circumstances must these vents
be blocked or obstructed.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by
releasing the window catches and placing
them in the second groove on the frame
catch.
