height of the vehicle (including the roof load).
X In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice before commencing the
journey.
X Before commencing the journey, empty the waste water tank.
X Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Z Before commencing the journey, distribute the payload evenly within the
vehicle (see chapter 3).
Z When loading the vehicle and when taking a rest from driving, in order to
load luggage or food, for example, observe the maximum permissible
gross weight and axle loads (refer to vehicle documents).
Z Do not exceed the maximum permissible nose weight on the caravan cou-
pling and do not let the weight fall below the minimum nose value. Load the
caravan accordingly.
Z While driving with your caravan, the towing vehicle must be equipped with
two external mirrors.

compartment door and all drawers and flaps are secure. Engage the refrig-
erator door securing device.

the corner steadies or steady legs, which are fitted to the vehicle.

sible.
Z Before commencing the journey, put the antenna in park position.

the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect
them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated.
