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 :?:

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!!!

:roll:

What is written on the little label?

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.

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