Before the journey

Chapter overview

This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before
commencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist which once again summarises
the most important points.

3.1.1 Initial

start-up



During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-
tighten the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently
inspect them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly
seated. See chapter 13 for tightening torque.

The motorhome is supplied with a set of keys, consisting of keys for the
base vehicle and keys for the body.
Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the
key number. Our authorised dealers and workshops can offer assistance in
case of loss.

3.2 Payload



Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to

burst. You can lose control of the vehicle (see section 13.6).



The maximum permissible gross weight and the weight including spe-

cial equipment fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehi-
cle documents, but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see sec-
tion 3.2.1). For your own safety, we recommend that you have your
loaded vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects)
weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.



Adapt the speed to the payload. The stopping distance is increased if

the payload is high.



Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight (permissible total
weight) stated in the vehicle documents and the maximum axle loads as
a result of the payload.



Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload.

On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as pos-
sible (directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the
driving characteristics of the vehicle.

3.2.1 Terms



Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term
"weight". However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common
use. For better understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the fol-
lowing sections for fixed formulations.
