During the journey
Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions on how to drive the motorhome.
4.1 Driving the motorhome
The base vehicle is a commercial vehicle (small truck). Adjust your
driving technique accordingly.
Before commencing the journey and after short interruptions of the
journey, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
When you start the engine, warning signals such as "entrance step
extended" can sound. Under certain conditions (a cold start in winter)
after the engine is started it can take up to 15 seconds for these warn-
ing signals to sound.
A seat belt is fitted for each seat which is permitted for travel. Please
keep your seat belt fastened during the journey.
Never open your seat belts when travelling.
Passengers
must
remain
in the seats provided.
The doors must remain locked.
Avoid braking with a jerk.
If a navigation system is used, only change the destination when the
vehicle is stationary. Drive to a car park or stop in a safe area when
changing the destination.
Do not play DVDs using the monitor of the navigation system during
the journey.
Drive slowly on poor roads.
Take extreme care when driving onto ferries, crossing uneven roads and
driving in reverse. Because of the relatively large overhang, larger vehi-
cles might swing out and "touch ground" in unfavourable conditions. This
can cause damage to the underbody or to parts fitted there, e.g. a mo-
torcycle rack.
If an accident occurs as a result of these instructions not being ob-
served, the manufacturer will not be responsible for damages caused.
The safety measures stipulated in chapter 2 have to be observed.
4.2 Breakdown assistance in the event of vehicle-related
technical problems
In case of emergency call the national emergency number or use the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (SOS button, refer to base ve-
hicle instruction manual).
For breakdown assistance and any questions on the base vehicle, the Mer-
cedes-Benz customer centre is at your disposal. The call to the Mer-
cedes-Benz customer centre is set up via the "me connect" communication
module in the vehicle.
