The following applies to stop valves and valves:
• All the valves on gas devices must be closed while driving.
• To open the valves, they must be turned by 90°. Opened
gas stop valves are set in the same direction as the gas line.
• No firing point may be in operation when filling the petrol
tank of your vehicle on ferries or in the garage.
Should you suspect a leak in the gas system, immediately
close the shutoff valves in the vehicle and the gas bottle
valves in the gas bottle container.
Over the years, vibrations can cause slight leakages to
occur. If you suspect that there are leakages, have your
dealer or an authorised workshop for gas facilities check
your system.
Never carry out leak tests near an open flame.

Using the MonoControl CS and DuoControl CS, it is possible
to heat the vehicle even while driving.
Should there be an accident, the integrated crash sensor au
-
tomatically interrupts the gas supply, thereby preventing gas
from escaping.
(Effect of delay 3.5 g ± 0.5 g; this corresponds to an impact
speed of 15-20 km/h against a fixed obstacle.)
Please refer also to the manufacturer's separate operating
instructions.
When exchanging gas bottles, use the enclosed screw aid
to screw and unscrew the high-pressure hoses. This will
prevent damage to the screws, which can be caused by
using the wrong tools.
