There is a pull switch under rear seat in my westy, looks like it has something to do with the eber, tried a translation of the little label next to it, does not make sense, it is directly behind the black box above eber, pulls up, pushes down, any ideas please

Don't pull it! It's the self destruct button!

put on a helmet and parachute

open your sunroof or make a hole in your cab's roof

then pull the thing and hold on.

DO NOT put your seatbelt on for safety reasons - the seat will eject and you will be strapped to the van's chasis!!!

Don't push it, I always give mine a good pull normally does the trick

What is written on the little label?

Post by **Laurie** » 16 Apr 2008, 13:51

It translates to 'Hands up Englander... I knew I'd catch you bending one day!'

I speak fluent Germanese, it helps. A quick tip, if you're ever stuck in Germany and don't speak Germanese, just speak louder - they love it.

Any German speakers please

(not the Blaupunkt ones thanks Mocki,

), the label reads.

Achtung !

Warning!
When you have mains voltage connected do not cover the charger.
Pull the plug before working on the charger.
