DRIVING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Prior to driving your vehicle, be sure you have read this entire owner’s guide and that you understand your
vehicle’s equipment completely and how to use the equipment safely.
Read and understand all of the instructions and precautions in this owner’s guide and the chassis
manufacturer owner’s manual before operating your new motorhome. Listed below are some safety
precautions that must be adhered to while your motorhome is in motion. These precautions, as well as others
that involve possible damage to equipment, are also listed in the appropriate areas in this manual.
Before Driving Away
The following is a brief list of procedures that will aid in your driving safety and extend your equipment’s
life.
•
Windows, mirrors, and light lenses are to be clean and unobstructed.
•
Tires should be checked for proper cold inflation pressure.
•
Wheel lug nuts should be checked for proper tightness.
•
Fluid levels, including engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield
washer solvent, should be checked and filled if necessary.
•
Disconnect the unit and store the sewer and water supply hoses as well as shoreline power cords.
•
Secure all cargo in the storage compartments in the event of a sudden stop.
•
Verify that the entrance step has retracted prior to engine ignition.
Driving
There are various adjustments that need to be made prior to starting and moving the vehicle.
•
Among them are the driver’s seat, the tilt steering, and the exterior rear view mirrors.
•
The dashboard may contain several gauges and controls you have not previously used. Become
familiar with all of these devices and their operation before starting out.
•
The cruise control is not to be operated on icy roads, extremely wet roads, winding roads, heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where a constant speed cannot be maintained.
•
While driving on slippery surfaces, use care when accelerating or decelerating. Skidding and loss of
vehicle control may be the result of abrupt changes in speed.
•
Driving through water deep enough to wet the brakes may affect the stopping distance or cause the
vehicle to pull to one side.
•
If you have driven through deep water, check the brake operation in a safe area to be sure they have
not been affected. Never operate a vehicle if a difference in braking efficiency is noticeable.
•
Extreme terrain and adverse weather may affect the handling and/or performance of your vehicle.
Please refer to your chassis manual for related information.
