The cab and habitation doors can be locked and unlocked using the key fob, either by pressing the relevant button or inserting the key into the lock. The same key fits the ignition and the bonnet release catch.

To fill with diesel or Adblue:

• Open the nearside (passenger side) door as the filler cap is secured by a tab behind the door frame. With the door and filler flap open, the diesel nozzle fits directly in the filler point.
• With both the door and diesel filler flap open, another flap below the diesel filler point can be opened. Turn the Adblue cap anticlockwise to remove it.

• The bonnet release is located outside on the front grille, just above the Ford badge. It’s not inside the cab, under the dash like many other models. Insert the key and turn anticlockwise to release the bonnet. Turn the key clockwise to release the bonnet catch.
• Oil level. Standing at the front, looking at the engine bay, the dipstick is to the left and is a bright yellow. Remove, wipe, and re-dip in the traditional manner. The oil filler point is to the left of the dipstick.
• The windscreen washer bottle is located in the far left corner of the engine bay. The blue cap is marked with a windscreen wiper symbol and is lifted from the bottle before filling with screen wash.

In the cab, the seats have two modes – lounge mode and driving mode. Both seats are fully adjustable and feature twin armrests. They can be moved forwards or backwards using the bar under the front of the seat, and the backrest angle can be altered using the knurled wheel at the base. To use the seats in lounge mode, pull the bar at the side of the base and rotate the seat unit. Please remember that both seats must be returned and locked in the forward-facing position before driving.

All three cab windows are fitted with opaque night blinds for privacy. These can be released from the frame by pinching the catch with your fingers before gently pulling the blinds into the night position. They can be re-opened in the same way.

Above the front seats is a skylight that provides additional light for the motorhome cab. When stationary, the catches can be released, and the skylight pushed open. It can be locked in the open position by tightening the plastic nuts on the window hinge bars. Please ensure that the skylight is firmly closed before driving. The skylight is also fitted with a flyscreen and night blind.
