2. Safety 14
Driving
Take a trial drive before leaving on your first large journey in
order to familiarize yourself with the van. Remember to practise
reversing. The base vehicle is a commercial vehicle; adjust your
driving style accordingly.
The following applies for driving:
• Do not underestimate the length and width of the van. Due to
the relatively long rear overhang larger vehicles can veer to
one side and, in unfavourable conditions, the rear can hit
the ground.
• Be careful when driving into inner courtyards and through
entrance gates.
• The van may start to swing from side to side in cross-winds,
on wet or icy roads.
• If the van starts to swing, step carefully but firmly on the brake
to stabilise the vehicle.
2.6 While driving
Your van is not an automobile!
In many situations, it reacts very differently to a “normal“ au -
tomobile. Therefore, you should be prepared for the following
differences:
Passenger safety
The following applies while driving:
• Only those seats equipped with safety belts may be used by
passengers.
• People may not be lying in the beds while driving.
• Passengers must remain in their seats with their seat belt on!
• Only install children's car seats on seats that have been
fitted by the manufacturer with three-point belts.
• Turn the swivel seats in the direction of traffic and lock them
into place. The seats may not be turned while driving.
• Lock the sliding seat
*
into its original position.
• Do not open the door latch!
• No extra passengers may remain in the vehicle!
Observe the specific features of the van's driving performance!
