Chapter 2: Safety

2.1 General information

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Never cover built-

lation or roof fan). Keep compulsory ventilation free of snow
and leaves - danger of suffocation!

frigerator, heating, cooker, etc.) as well as for the basic ve-
hicle must be observed at all times.

mance of the engine home. Some accessories must be re-
gistred and entered in the vehicle's papers.
• Use only tyres and rims that have been approved for your
engine home. Please refer to the vehicle's registration pa-
pers for information on tyre and rim sizes.
