DRIVING YOUR MOTORHOME
AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER –
AUTOMOTIVE (DASH)
See the chassis manual for operating
information on driver and passenger comfort
controls – air conditioner, heater, defroster, and
ventilation.
NOTE: The dash air conditioner is not designed
to cool the entire interior of the
motorhome, but is intended only to
provide cooling for the cab area.
RADIO – IN-DASH
The radio in your vehicle is chassis-supplied.
Refer to the chassis manual for complete
features, programming, and operating
instructions.
REARVIEW MIRROR WITH
MONITOR SYSTEM
–If Equipped
Your motorhome may be equipped with a
Rearview Monitor System built into the rearview
mirror, which lets you see what is directly behind
your vehicle for maneuvering assistance and
safety.
Further Information
See the Rearview Monitor System
manufacturer’s user guide provided in your
InfoCase for complete features and operating
instructions.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check coolant
level visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
Further Information
Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase
for information and precautions on filling,
servicing, and checking the fluid level.
TIRES
Improper tire pressure can result in tire
overloading and abnormal wear and also affects
handling, ride characteristics, and fuel economy.
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, alignment should be
checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded
the motorhome according to your personal needs.
Thereafter, the alignment should be periodically
inspected to help prevent uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire, or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole, or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of the
same size and rating as those shown on
your Vehicle Certification Label.
