5 Pitching the Motorcaravan
56
B-MC - 12/18-2 - EHG-0016-01EN
It is only possible to switch on the rear area lighting when the vehicle en-
gine is shut off. If the rear area lighting is switched on and you start the
vehicle engine, the LEDs will go out. When shutting the vehicle engine
off, the rear area lighting will switch on again (if the lower part of the rear
area lighting rocker switch is pressed).
5.6 Supports
5.6.1 General
instructions
Do not use the fitted supports as a vehicle jack. They supports are only
for stabilising the parked vehicle to prevent the rear axle from bottoming
out.
When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the supports are evenly loaded.
Before driving away, wind up the supports as far as they can go, fully re-
tract and secure them.
When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in or-
der to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Otherwise, the
water from the shower tray will not be able to drain properly.
5.6.2 Steady
legs
The steady legs must not be used to jack up the vehicle in order to
work beneath it, e.g. to change a wheel or carry out maintenance
work.
Whilst the vehicle is in a jacked up position, persons must not lie down
under it.
Always apply the handbrake before extending the steady legs.
Depending on the model, the hexagonal nut has a joint, which can be
used to bring the attached socket spanner into a more convenient posi-
tion for turning.
In order to ensure their correct function, clean and grease the interior tubes
of the steady legs regularly.
The length of the steady legs can be adjusted according to the model.
