Brakes Defects in the braking system can cause serious accidents with
fatal consequences.
Always ensure that:
Prior to each journey check the functional safety of the
brakes, uniform response, and directional stability. Have any
defects repaired immediately by an authorised specialised
workshop.
Never make unauthorised changes to brake system
components.
Check the filling level of the brake fluid regularly and top up if
necessary. Compliance with the manufacturer's instructions of
the base vehicle is mandatory.
Always engage the parking brake when parking the vehicle.
After a longer period of non-use (≥ 10 months), have the
brake system checked by an authorised workshop.
Trailer
There is an inherent risk when attempting to hitch a trailer.
Always ensure that:
The base vehicle is equipped with a functionally safe trailer
pulling device and an electrical connector coupling.
The trailer must be in an operationally safe condition, have a
valid licence, and be configured for the base vehicle. Do not
exceed the technically permissible trailer load and maximum
drawbar load ( registration certificate part I, operating
manuals for the towing vehicle and the towing device).
If the trailer is equipped with an over-run brake system and
the brake is seized, do not hitch or unhitch the trailer.
When using couplings with a removable hitch ball, ensure that
the hitch ball is properly mounted ( operating manual
provided with the towing device).
Always proceed with caution during the coupling procedure.
Use an assistant to help the driver of the towing vehicle.
Ensure that no one is in the motor home and that no one is in
the space between towing vehicle and caravan.
Only enter the zone between the towing vehicle and the trailer
if both cannot move and the parking brake is engaged.
Immediately after hitching the vehicle and the trailer, check
the vehicle's lighting equipment on the trailer and test the
brakes for proper function.
