Vehicle Familiarisation

Making yourself familiar with the vehicle

The importance of making yourself familiar with the van before you begin a journey cannot be overstated. Vanarama feels it is important to pay particular attention too the dimensions and GVW of the vehicle together with the position of the lights, indicators, fuel cap release, and bonnet release.
