3.9 Sink
cover
If the sink cover is fixedly attached: close sink cover.
If the sink cover can be removed: remove sink cover from the sink and
store it securely.
3.10 Gas
regulator
Operating gas-operated appliances during the journey is permitted
only if the gas system has the relevant equipment. The hose break
guard and crash sensor prevent an escape of gas in the event of an
accident.
Depending on the equipment, different gas regulators can be installed in the
vehicle.
If a gas regulator other than one of those listed below is installed in the vehi-
cle, the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator taps must be
closed during the journey.

break guard (Fig. 10,1 and Fig. 11,1) is installed in the vehicle:
The regulator tap on the gas bottle and the "Heater" gas isolator tap may re-
main open during the journey. Gas-operated appliances may be on during
the journey.
The design details of the MonoControl (Fig. 10) and DuoControl (Fig. 11)
gas regulators can vary (straight or angled).
If in doubt, get the relevant information from authorised dealers or ser-
vice centres.
3.11 Snow
chains
Only mount snow chains if there is a clearance of at least 50 mm be-
tween the tyres and the vehicle body.
When using snow chains, the tyres, wheel suspension and steering are
subjected to an additional load. When using snow chains, drive slowly
(maximum speed 50 km/h) and only on streets which are completely
covered with snow. Otherwise the vehicle could be damaged.
