5.2 Brakes
Before each journey Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
z Does the overrun brake function?
z Do the brakes react evenly?
z Do the towing vehicle and the caravan remain on track when braking?
5.3 Driving in reverse
As far as all models with an automatic reverse driving mechanism are concerned,
the caravan can be reversed without difficulty. In addition to the rolling resistance,
residual braking power must be taken into account.
Driving in reverse:
Drive up to the entrance until the rear of the caravan is roughly level with the
entrance (Fig. 9).
With a stationary towing vehicle and trailer turn the steering wheel to the left
(Fig. 10).
Reverse with caution. The caravan moves to the right.
X Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an authorised
specialist workshop.
Z When driving in reverse, the caravan reacts in exactly the opposite direction to
the steering movements of the towing vehicle. If you steer the towing vehicle
to the left, the caravan moves to the right!
Z Never back up without a second person to direct you.
