Maintenance and Care
12-11
At the end of the winter season
The following applies for the care of the vehicle:
• Thoroughly wash the underbody and the motor. This removes
corrosive thawing agents (salts, alkali).
• Clean the exterior and use normal car wax to preserve metal
parts.
• Do not forget to remove flue extensions, cover panels on
refrigerators, etc.
Saving energy in winter
It is very easy to save energy inside your van. This applies
especially to heating in winter.
The following applies for saving energy:
• Meter the exact use of ventilation in the vehicle and the
heating valve.
• Install winter mats on the inner sides of the driver‘s cabin
and the windscreen (not included in scope of delivery).
• Attach the insulating mat between the driver‘s cab and the
interior of the van (not included in scope of delivery).
• Open the outside door as seldom and briefly as possible.
• If you are camping in winter, attach a small outer tent. This
will offer protection against the cold.
