4.1 Initial start-up
The motorhome is supplied with a set of keys, consisting of keys for the base
vehicle and keys for the body.
Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the key
number. Our authorised dealers and workshops can offer assistance in case
of loss.
4.2 Registration
Your motorhome is a vehicle which must be registered. Observe national
regulations on registration.
Please remember that certain countries require a separate national code
sticker in addition to the EU plate.
Z During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten
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. See
chapter 14 for tightening torque.
