1.4 Parking
Shift into gear (put the gearbox in position “P” for the automatic transmission) and apply the handbrake , or for electrical
handbrakes pull the lever. It is necessary that the motorhome is as level as possible to ensure the unimpeded drainage
of dirty water from the shower and sink. Levelling wedges are practical for this.
If your motorhome is equipped with an awning, always secure it with additional tension to the ground when in use.
Awnings raised by gusts of wind often cause costly damage to the vehicle. If the electric drive fails, the awning must be
operated manually (the crank is located in the rear storage compartment).
The awning must be fully retracted before starting the engine (driving)!
Your motorhome is equipped with rear supports, never use them for a possible wheel change.
For motorhomes with rear axle air suspension:
The motorhome must be lowered completely using the rear axle air suspension before the rear supports
are used. If this procedure is not followed, the supports and the motorhome floor can be damaged.
For more detailed information on operating the air suspension, please refer to the manufacturer‘s opera-
ting instructions.
Here are some practical tips:
• When you have lowered the rear supports, place the hand crank on the steering wheel as a reminder in
the cab. In this way you will avoid an erroneous start with the supports lowered.
• In midsummer, if possible, park the motorhome in such a way that the ventilation slots of the refrigera-
tor are not exposed to the blazing sun, so that your refrigerator will work better.
• When parking on public roads within closed towns, red/white “night parking signs” must be attached
to the motorhome in the dark (for vehicles over 3.5 t).
• When leaving a stopover place, make sure that you do not leave any damage or rubbish: Discretion and
environmental awareness are the most important characteristics of motorhome users.
