Introduction
1
Only use the vehicle in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instruc-
tions in the instruction manual.
Malfunctions which impair the safety of persons or the vehicle should be
immediately remedied by qualified personnel. To avoid further damages,
observe the duty to avert, minimize or mitigate loss for the user during faults.
Have the vehicle's braking and gas systems inspected and repaired by an
authorised specialist workshop only.
Alterations to the body are only to be carried out with the authorisation of the
manufacturer.
The vehicle is designed for the exclusive transport of persons. Luggage and
accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permissible gross
weight.
Observe the test and inspection periods stipulated by the manufacturer.
1.2 Environmental tips
ZBe considerate of the environment.
ZRemember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to
be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.
ZOn board, collect waste water only in the waste water tank or – if
necessary – in other containers designed for that purpose.
ZOnly empty the waste water tank and toilet cassette or sewage tank at dis-
posal stations at the camping or caravan sites, which are especially pro-
vided for this purpose. When stopping in towns and communities, observe
the instructions at caravan sites or ask where there are disposal stations.
ZEmpty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not com-
pletely full (hygiene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and, if necessary, drainage pipe with
fresh water every time it is emptied.
ZNever allow the toilet cassette or sewage tank to become too full. Empty
the toilet cassette or sewage tank frequently, at the latest as soon as the
level indicator lights up.
ZSeparate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet
waste also when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority
about disposal points. Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste
paper baskets which are situated at car parks.
ZEmpty waste bins as often as possible into the containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of
rubbish on board.
ZWhen parked, do not allow the engine to run more than necessary. When
running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The
running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
ZUse an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can
also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.
ZWhen staying in towns and communities for long periods, search for
parking areas which are specially reserved for motorhomes. Enquire at the
town or community authority about parking spaces.
ZAlways leave the parking places in a clean condition.
