WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with a refrigerator
specifically designed for motor caravans and
nautical vehicles. We recommend the utmost care
in storing perishable food because the perfor-
mances of this appliance cannot be compared
with those of a household refrigerator and they
are also affected by the climatic conditions the
vehicle is exposed to.
WARNING
If you have purchased a new vehicle, please
get the wheel bolts checked by a specialised
workshop after traveling 50 km.
WARNING
Inspect flexible gas hoses regularly for deterio-
ration and renew as necessary with the approved
type. Either the expiry date or the production date
is marked on the hoses. If the production date is
indicated, refer to the regulations in force in your
country to determine the expiry date. In any case,
the expiry date of the hoses may vary depending
on the country you are in.
WARNING
Use upper bunks for sleeping only, with protection
against falling-out. Care should be taken against
the risk of falling out when upper bunks are used
