2. Safety
Driving in reverse
Your HOBBY caravan has a braking system with automatic reverse.
It enables you to drive backwards without applying the brakes, becau-
se the overrun coupling does not dierentiate between overrunning or
reversing the caravan. When you back up the caravan, you must rst
overcome a slight residual brake torque in order to activate the automatic
reverse. You can then back up the caravan without any diculty. The
next time the caravan moves forward, the normal braking facility is then
automatically applied again.
The caravan's brakes are deactivated when you drive
in reverse.
Should there be any defects or malfunctions in the dri-
ving performance of the camper, please notify roadside
assistance and have any maintenance and repair work
carried out by an authorised specialist.
Due to the design of the brakes, there may be increa-
sed wear in the brake lining during the initial break-in
phase. After having driven 500 km, the basic setting for
the brakes must be checked by an authorised specia-
list and adjusted if necessary (initial inspection).
Although the Premium models have an automatic brake
adjustment, this must be checked after having driven
the rst 500 km.
Brakes
A trailer carriage behaves dierently from an individual vehicle while
braking. Therefore, it is advis-able (especially for inexperienced drivers)
to conduct several braking tests on a suitable surface. The braking di-
stance for a carriage is longer than that of an individual vehicle. The load
in the caravan also has a signicant inuence on the braking distance.
Rules for braking
Note the longer braking distance on wet roads.
When driving down mountains or steep hills, do not use a higher
gear than when driving uphill.
During long drives over passes, permanently overrunning the
caravan can cause the wheel brakes to heat up considerably. If
necessary, you should allow enough time to enable them to cool
down again.
Driving around curves
Your carriage is considerably longer than a car.
Rules for driving around curves
Do not take curves too quickly or too sharply!
Take the curve at a somewhat wider radius when turning.
Note that the caravan can sheer out of line over the rear.
