6. DIVERSE SYSTEMS
6.1 Electric step
Your motorhome is equipped with an electric step at the main body door. With Coachbuilt motorhomes, an electrical
step can optionally be fitted to the cab door. With the help of the rocker switch attached to the inside of the entrance,
you can extend or retract the step. There is a red indicator lamp on the dashboard. If the step is still extended and you
start the engine, the step automatically retracts and the red indicator lamp goes out. If the red lamp is still on, please
check the position of the step before departure. If the step is retracted and the red lamp continues to be lit, the error is
due to the limit switch. You can continue your journey and visit your authorised FRANKIA dealer.
The step must be fully extended before you step on it. Otherwise damage to the mechanical parts can
be expected!
Caring for the step:
•
The step surface must be cleaned regularly to maintain the grip of the surface.
•
The joints of the step are to be cleaned every quarter and lubricated with spray oil or grease.
Electric step fuse:
There is an internal fuse in the EBL for the step at the body
door, which switches off in the event of an overload and
switches on again automatically after a short time as soon
as it has cooled down. The fuse of the step at the cab door
is located on the starter battery.

Heat the windscreen:
•
Switch on the windscreen heater: Start the motorhome engine - press the switch - the indicator lamp in
the switch lights up
•
Switch off the windscreen heater: Return the switch to the starting position - the indicator lamp in the

The mirrors can also be adjusted manually. The mirror heater and especially the windscreen heater have a
high energy consumption. Therefore, they should only be switched on when necessary.
Exterior lighting:
Your motorhome is equipped with exterior lighting with a motion detector. The aw-
ning light is controlled via the series switch at the entrance. The left rocker switch
switches the light on or off. If the right rocker switch is pressed when the lamp is
switched off, the motion detector is activated.
Awning lighting (option):
The awning lighting option includes an LED bar along the entire length of the aw-
ning that serves as an external light. With the awning remote control, this can be
switched on and off.
6.3 Truma convection heating
Heating in the cab in the Coachbuilt models:
In the Coachbuilt motorhomes from FRANKIA with convection heating, the cab is heated with the help of heating noz-
zles. There is a heating nozzle and a slider on the passenger side.
Position the slide “down” or position “blue”
= The heating air only flows through the side heating nozzle into the
footwell. The air supply to the dashboard is blocked by the slider.
Position the slide “up” or position “red”
=
The heating air flows through the windscreen fan on the dashboard.
This prevents cold from the outside from penetrating through the
windscreen. The air circulation function of the ventilation control pa-
nel on the dashboard must be activated, otherwise warm air will es-
cape to the outside.
