2.2 General informaon
• The van may only be driven on public roads by someone with a
valid driving licence category for such vehicles.
• The individual manufacturer's operang and instrucon
manual(s) must be observed when using the basic vehicle
as well as built-in devices (refrigerator, heang system,
hob, etc.).
• If accessories or oponal extras have been fied, this may
change the measurements, weight and road performance of
the van. Some accessories that are fied aer purchase of the
vehicle must be entered in the registraon document.
• Use only tyres and rims that have been approved for your
van. Informaon on tyre and rim sizes can be found in the
user manual or in Chapter 14.4 Tyres and rims.
This van has been designed as a mobile travel accommodaon for
private, not commercial use. This is a recreaonal vehicle that is
fit for habitaon. It oers accommodaon that can be used tem-
porarily or seasonally and which meets the requirements for the

used in accordance with road traffic regulaons and naonal
vehicle safety standards.
This van may not be used for the commercial transport of people/
animals and/or goods. On public roads, the van may only be used
for carrying personal equipment. Transporng unsecured loads
and/or packages is forbidden.
Each person travelling in the van must sit on a seat that is equip-
ped with a seatbelt and wear the seatbelt whenever the vehicle
is moving. The number of people travelling in the van may not

any other use is regarded as contrary to the intended use.

Safety informaon sheets
A rescue sheet for each vehicle should be stored behind the
sun visor. If required, your dealer will give you the rescue sheet.
Should there be an accident, the emergency services can obtain
all of the important informaon for this specific model from the
safety sheet.
Treat the safety sheet with care; do not make it illegible and
always store it in the designated place in the sun visor.

2.3 Fire protecon
Precauons against fire
• Never leave children and vulnerable people alone in the
vehicle.
• Keep inflammable materials away from all heang and
cooking devices.
• Any changes to the electric system, gas system or built-in
devices may only be carried out by an authorised person.
• Keep an ABC dry powder fire exnguisher by the entrance
door.
• Ensure that everyone is familiar with the operang instruc-
ons on the fire exnguisher.
• Store a fire blanket near the cooker.
• Do not block any escape routes.
• Familiarise yourself with all safety measures for the vehicle

Fighng fire

2. Safety 9
• Sound the alarm and call the fire department.
• Only fight the fire yourself if you can do so without risk.
The inial use of dry powder fire exnguishers is only re-
commended if it is likely that turning o the valve on the gas
bole stop the leak, or if the bole can be removed quickly.
Please refer also to the device manufacturer's operang
manual.
For more informaon on using and changing the baery,
please refer to Chapter 12 Maintenance and Upkeep.
A smoke detector will not prevent fires or put them out. If
it is working properly, it will merely provide you with those
possibly decisive seconds to save yourself and nofy emer-
gency services.
The detector's own electricity supply, powered by the built-in
9V block baery, ensures that the smoke detector will funcon
independent of the vehicle's electric system, even if the power
supply has been switched o.
• To acvate the smoke detector, pull the protecve foil o the
block baery and insert the baery.
• Use the test buon to test the smoke detector.
Smoke detector*
The van has been fied with a baery-operated smoke detector
on the ceiling. Should smoke be detected inside the vehicle, a
loud alarm will go o, warning any passengers of a possible fire.
