ON THE ROAD
Pulling Off
Engage the clutch smoothly.
Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.
Change gears smoothly.
Try not to jerk the clutch.
MOTORWAY DRIVING
Speed Limits (UK)
If a speed limit is not in force, your
motorhome can be driven up to 70mph on
motorways, 60 mph on dual carriageways
and 50 mph on single carriageways.
1. Reduce Speed:
i) In high or cross winds.
ii) Downhill.
iii) In poor visibility.
2. High sided vehicles cause air buffeting,
so extra care must be taken when
passing or being passed. As much space
as possible should be given.
Motorway Handling
Do not bump the kerb with the wheels.
When passing other vehicles allow more than
the normal clearance.
Allow longer to get up speed to pass.
Do not swing out suddenly.
Carry out all manoeuvres as smoothly as
possible.
Use nearside wing mirror to check
motorhome has cleared when overtaking.
Spare Wheel
CAUTION: Familiarize yourself with this
section prior to driving the vehicle and
take careful note of the warnings given.
Your Mercedes vehicle does not have a
spare wheel. Instead it is supplied with a tyre
sealant system to seal small punctures,
particularly those in the tyre tread. The tyre
sealant system is located in the stowage
compartment in the right hand door sill.
For full instructions on how to use the tyre
sealant, refer to the Mercedes handbook
supplied with the vehicle. Look in the index at
the front of the book for the section entitled
‘Tyre sealant’ which gives details of the
storage location and using the sealant.
After using the sealant, drive to the nearest
workshop, at a maximum speed of 50 mph,
to have the tyre repaired or replaced.
Rear Step
On moving off the rear step retracts
automatically. In the event of the rear step
being left extended, a buzzer, positioned
behind the dashboard, will sound (when the
ignition is switched on) - and will continue to
do so until the rear step has been fully
retracted.
Marker Lights
Marker lights are fitted to the front, rear and
side (if required) of the vehicle. These
illuminate when the side and/or headlights
are switched on. They use a 12V cap-less
push-in type bulb which is accessed by
removing the lens which is held in place by
two screws.
Cycle Rack
In order that a cycle rack can be fitted, the
rear panel coachwork has been strengthened
accordingly. Timber is bonded into the
bodywork immediately above the rear light
units, laterally across the vehicle. This allows
the lower mounting brackets for the Fiamma
Pro-C cycle rack to be fitted in a suitably
reinforced area. In the event of a cycle rack
being fitted, the cycle rack when folded will
increase the vehicle length by 400mm. Your
Auto-Sleeper dealer will give further advice or
assistance if required.
Whilst Driving
Whilst the vehicle is being driven ensure that:
• Both the passenger and driver wear seat
belts - this is a legal requirement.
• Heavy loads are not stored in top
cupboards or in areas from which they
may become detached. Please ensure
that heavy items are stored low down
and take care not to overload individual
wheels, the axles or the MTPLM.
• Table(s) are stowed in the correct
position and table legs secured in their
retaining clips.
