2.5.1 General instructions
Z Before commencing the journey, put the antenna in park position.
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 13 for tightening torque.
Z Tyres may not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over
time (see chapter 13).
Z When using snow chains, the tyres, wheel suspension and steering are
subjected to an additional load. When using snow chains, drive slowly
(maximum speed 50 km/h) and only on streets which are completely cov-
ered with snow. Otherwise the vehicle could be damaged.
X Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci-
dent and injury!
X No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.
X Before commencing the journey, when leaving the vehicle or when gas
equipment is not in use, close all gas isolator taps and the main isolator
tap on the gas bottle.
X No appliance operated by a naked flame (e.g. heater or refrigerator) may
be in operation when filling the tank, on ferries or in the garage. Danger
of explosion!
X Do not use appliances operated with a naked flame in closed spaces
(e.g. garages). Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
X Only have the gas system maintained, repaired or altered by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
X Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop
according to the national regulations before commissioning. This also
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas system
have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X The gas pressure regulator and exhaust gas pipes must also be
inspected. The gas pressure regulator has to be replaced after 10 years
at the latest. The vehicle owner is responsible for seeing that this is car-
ried out.
X In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consumption)
there is danger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle imme-
diately. Open doors and windows and ventilate well.
X If the gas system is defective: Do not smoke; do not ignite any open
flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).
X Before using the cooker make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
Open windows or the skylight.
X Do not use the gas cooker or gas oven for heating purposes.
