1.3 Legal framework
1.3.1 Regulations
The vehicle must be registered according to the regulations. There are no specific regulations that apply to the use of
a motorhome. Motorhomes are both vehicles and a form of accommodation that are subject to the following codes,
depending on the country:
• the highway code when driving the vehicle
• general local legislation and the highway code when parking on the public highway
• urban land use code when parking on private property.
1.3.2 Warranty
• The warranty, guaranteed by the dealership, lasts 24 months from delivery and key handover. The date is specifically
mentioned by the dealer in the box reserved for the purpose on the warranty certificate.
• The warranty only applies to the living area as well as to any transformations made by GP SAS to the chassis base; the chassis
part is covered by the car manufacturer warranty.
• The warranty should, as far as possible, be redeemed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased, both for the living
area itself and for defective parts that may be changed separately.
• The motorhome shall be made available to the dealer for any exchange or repair. No refund shall be made for the cost of
transport to and from the dealer (both for the motorhome and the people) or other related expenses incurred directly or
indirectly.
• If household appliances are covered by their own manufacturer's warranty (fridge, heating system, etc.) then contact your
nearest brand representative (see list of representatives provided with the appliance) or, where this is not possible, your Pilote
dealer.
•
It is important to fill out the warranty documents for appliances when provided and to return them to the various
manufacturers.

8
The warranty will not apply in the following cases:
• The buyer has not complied with the instructions for use
• The motorhome has been modified by a non-approved person or by installing non-original parts
• The damage or the defect is due to failure to observe the Highway Code
• The damage results from improper or negligent use
• Normal wear and tear
• The motorhome was repaired in a workshop not approved by GP SAS or without its prior written agreement
• The motorhome has been transformed or equipped with accessories not fitted by the manufacturer and which are liable to
aect key vehicle characteristics
1.4 Motorhome manners
1.4.1 General principles
Good motorhome owners are discreet and must be careful not to leave any trace of their stay. Motorhome owners must
have good manners, respect others and protect the environment. The use of a motorhome as accommodation implies
respecting the rules with regard to the inhabitants of the places visited.
1.4.2 Parking
In city centres and urban areas, it is advisable to find parking in sparsely populated areas and to avoid obstructing the visibility
and conducting of business, so as to ensure the motorhome does not constitute an obstacle to circulation. Likewise, using
motorhomes as accommodation shall take place in such areas:
• without spreading to the area around the vehicle
• without causing inconvenience to residents
• without monopolising the public area
• without allowing pets to run riot, foul or otherwise disturb the neighbours

9
1.4.3 Waste
Wastewater emptying must take place:
• In appropriate places and never near to housing, rivers, streams or crops.
• the emptying of "black" water (lavatory) into the rain water drainage network is strictly prohibited.
All water drainage valves must be closed whilst travelling. Even fresh water should be emptied discretely, to avoid suspicion.
It is always worth asking the local authorities about how to safely get rid of wastewater. Household garbage must be placed
in plastic bags and disposed of in designated places.
Wastewater must be drained o in appropriate places,
never near housing, rivers, streams or crops.
By observing all of these common-sense rules, everyone may fully enjoy the multitude of pleasures provided by the passion
for motorhomes.

2.1 The base
2.1.1 The chassis
The chassis number is located
on the right front wheel arch.
Your dealer should give you the user manual and the chassis maintenance book published by the car manufacturer when
your motorhome is delivered. We recommend that you take note of the contents and follow the instructions relating to
chassis. The wheel alignment is set by the chassis manufacturer before leaving the factory.
Chassis number
< on Low-Profile
Chassis number
on A-Class >
2.1.2 The wheels
See chapter 3 for the tyre pressure. In case of puncture, use the quick repair kit located in one of
the boots.
2.1.3 The accessories
Motorbike racks and coupling systems must be approved and fitted with the appropriate electrical
circuit.
These accessories reduce the load capacity of the motorhome and aect road handling.
The driver should adapt his driving or even reduce speed in some countries.
The wheel alignment must be imperatively checked at 1,500km (900 miles).
An additional verification is also strongly recommended at 20,000km (12,000 miles).
The cost for such inspections shall be borne by the user.
