CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME
indeed the roof ventilators have sufficient
fixed ventilation to allow the interior of the
vehicle to breathe satisfactorily.
Exterior
Fit, where appropriate, the Electrolux winter
covers to the fridge ventilators. Give your
Auto-Sleeper a good wash and polish before
laying up, and apply a small film of protective
oil to the stainless steel roof rack, ladder and
any other external polished metal
components.
Electrical
Turn the electrical system off at the control
panel.
Mercedes recommend that if the vehicle is to
be parked up for a long period that the
vehicle electrical system is switched off at the
battery isolating switch. For full instructions
on the procedure, refer to the Mercedes hand
book supplied with the vehicle and look in the
index at the front of the book for the section
entitled ‘Battery/Isolating switch’. If this
advice is followed, bear in mind that the
remote central locking will not function,
although it will still be possible to unlock and
lock the doors manually using the key.
To maintain the vehicle battery in good
condition it is recommended that it is fully
charged prior to storage and then recharged
every 3 months. For full instructions, refer to
the Mercedes hand book and look in the
index for the section entitled ‘Battery/
Charging’
Windows
Open all windows fully. Check all window
seals are intact and shut firmly. Ensure locks
and over centre catches are applied as
appropriate.
Automotive
Follow the advice laid down by the base
vehicle manufacturer. In particular,
• Secure the vehicle using chocks.
Release the handbrake to prevent the
brake linings from seizing on.
• Increase the tyre pressure (by
approximately 2 bar above the
standard pressure) to prevent the
tyres from becoming flat.
WARNING: Do not exceed the
maximum pressure noted on the
sidewall of the tyre.
Alternatively, jack up the vehicle to relieve the
load on the tyres.
• Cover the tyres to protect from sunlight,
as they will deteriorate rapidly in ultra-
violet light. A light proof cover will help to
prevent cracking of sidewalls and
premature ageing.
• Check coolant for antifreeze protection,
correct as required.
• Check windscreen and headlamp
cleaning systems for antifreeze
protection, correct as required.
