and camper
To be prepared in case of an emergency, you should always carry the
three emergency devices on board and familiarize yourself with them.
First-aid kit
The first aid kit should always be kept handy. It should have a
fixed place in the base vehicle/camper. Any objects removed
from the first-aid kit should be replaced immediately. Expiry dates
should be checked regularly.
Reflective jacket
Please refer to the British regulations for carrying and wearing a
high-visibility vest with white retro-reflective stripes in accordance
with EN 471 whenever you step outside the vehicle on roads outside
built-up areas or on the hard shoulder.
The driver must put on this high-visibility vest when the vehicle
• comes to a stop outside city limits on an obscure rural road
because of an accident or breakdown, if the view is poor due to
bad weather, in twilight or darkness, or
• when it must be secured by means of a warning triangle on the
emergency strip of the engineway because of an accident or
breakdown.
Warning triangle
The warning triangle should also be kept handy in a fixed place in the
base vehicle/camper, preferably together with the first aid kit.
In an emergency
• Set up the warning triangle at least 100 m in front of the danger
zone!
Please observe the national regulations of the countries
you are driving through with regard to carrying and
wearing emergency equipment.
