2. Safety
Driving economically
The engine of your motor home has not been designed to drive
constantly under a full load.
The following applies when driving
•
Do not keep your foot down on the accelerator!
•
The final 20 km/h before reaching top speed require up to
50 % more fuel!
Braking
A motor home has a different brake response than that of a car.
For this reason, inexperienced drivers in particular should carry
out several test braking manoeuvres in a suitable location before
driving on the road. The braking distance of the motor home is
longer than that of a car. Furthermore, it is strongly influenced
by how heavily the motor home has been loaded.
The following applies for braking
•
Note the longer braking distance, especially on wet roads.
•
When driving downhill, select a gear that is not higher than
when driving uphill.
Should there be any defects or malfunctions in the driving
performance of the motorhome, please notify roadside as-
sistance and have any maintenance and repair work car-
ried out by an authorised specialist.
Reversing/Manoeuvring
Your motor home is far larger than a car.
The following applies to reversing/manoeuvring
•
Even if the wing mirrors are correctly adjusted there is a
significant blind spot.
•
When reversing or parking in places with poor visibility get
help to guide you in.
Refuelling
A number of devices that use an open flame have been built
into your motor home.
The following applies when refuelling:
•
Turn off all gas appliances (heating, refrigerator, etc.)!
•
Turn off all mobile phones!
•
Never get anything other than diesel fuel.
•
Never mistakenly fill the fresh water tank with fuel.
