Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions on how to drive the motorhome.
5.1

Driving the motorhome

 The base vehicle is a commercial vehicle (small truck). Adjust your
driving technique accordingly.
 Before commencing the journey and after short interruptions of the
journey, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
 A seat belt is fitted for each seat which is permitted for travel. Please
keep your seat belt fastened during the journey.
 Never open your seat belts when travelling.
 Passengers must remain in the seats provided.
 The doors must remain locked.
 Avoid braking with a jerk.
 If a navigation system is used, only change the destination when the
vehicle is stationary. Drive to a car park or stop in a safe area when
changing the destination.
 Do not play DVDs using the monitor of the navigation system during
the journey.
 Always switch off outdoor light/awning light during the journey.

Drive slowly on poor roads.

Take extreme care when driving onto ferries, crossing uneven roads and
driving in reverse. Because of the relatively large overhang, larger vehi-
cles might swing out and "touch ground" in unfavourable conditions. This
can cause damage to the underbody or to parts fitted there, e.g. a mo-
torcycle rack.

If an accident occurs as a result of these instructions not being ob-
served, the manufacturer will not be responsible for damages caused.

The safety measures stipulated in chapter 3 have to be observed.
5.2

Driving speed

 The vehicle is equipped with a powerful engine. This means there are
sufficient reserves in difficult traffic situations. This high power enables
a high maximum speed and requires above-average driving ability.
 The vehicle provides a large contact surface for wind. A sudden cross-
wind can be especially dangerous.
 Uneven or one-sided loading affects road performance.
 Driving on unknown streets, you may encounter hazardous road con-
ditions and unexpected driving situations. Therefore, in the interest of
safety, make sure your driving speed is appropriate to any given driv-
ing situation and environment.
 Adhere to the national legal speed limits.
