Mercedes-Benz spare wheel:
If the spare wheel has to be used on the front axle and alloy wheels are fitted, the
original Mercedes-Benz adapter hub must be fitted. Our recommendation: Always
take 1 adapter hub with you
Remove the alloy wheel and the wheel spacer. Tighten the transition plate and spare wheel with the
correct tightening torque 180 Nm and go to the nearest workshop as quickly as possible.
Cutting boards:
The covers of the kitchen sink and the lowered single-burner stove (depending on
the floor plan) have multiple uses. The work surface of your kitchen can be expan-
ded depending on the version. Pull out the top drawer (push to open). Close the
cutout with the front sink cover.
With the rear sink cover, the storage space above the kitchen worktop can be
enlarged. Insert the cover into the slot on the side of the shelf. In kitchens with a
lowered hob, you can slide the cover into the shaft behind the cooker and thus
obtain flame and splash protection
When the sink is not in use, close the drain with the drain plug to counteract moisture in the motorho-
me and deformation of the covers.
Do not leave wet cloths in the sink when the sink cover is in place. These can warp due to the moisture.
7. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Vehicle care:
With good care, your FRANKIA will offer you extremely high living and travel comfort for many years, so we would like to
give you some tips. If you take these into consideration, your FRANKIA will be a loyal and reliable companion for you.
Base vehicle
The manufacturer‘s operating instructions are decisive for the chassis.
Windscreen washer fluid-filler hose:
•
Open the bonnet to add windscreen washer fluid.
•
The filling hose for the windscreen washer fluid is accessible on the passenger side at the
side of the bonnet hinge.
•
Pull off the blue cap and add water.
AdBlue (Mercedes-Benz Coachbuilt):
AdBlue is an additional fuel that is supplied to the vehicle via a separate tank.
When it runs low, it is imperative to refill it because the vehicle is no longer ready
to drive with an empty AdBlue tank.
You have the option of refilling AdBlue yourself using a canister with a screwed-on
filling hose (Mercedes-Benz spare part “A 000 583 22 04”).
All Mercedes-Benz service centres offer the refill service for AdBlue and have Ad-
Blue refill containers in their range.
Never refuel AdBlue at petrol pumps. These are usually unsuitable for cars and motorhomes.
Spilled AdBlue can cause great damage in the engine compartment.
