Running Boards/Rear Bumper Entry Assist; Driver And Passenger Seat - Jayco Swift Owner's Manual

In addition, a separate supplemental braking system must be installed if the towed trailer or
vehicle meets or exceeds the minimum weight determined by the chassis manufacturer (this
minimum weight rating will vary by chassis and chassis manufacturer).
Contact your dealer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking system is rec-
ommended for your towing and traveling safety. Failure to follow these instructions will
create a safety hazard and may result in an accident.
Maintenance
Keep the hitch clean along with your general frame maintenance.
At the beginning of the season, and monthly or thereafter, clean the inside of the
receiver tube with a wire brush and spray with a silicone spray.
Always remove the utility mount from the receiver when it is not in use. This will
help prevent the utility mount from rusting to the tube.
Periodically check the bolts for tightness. They need to be torqued to the proper
setting (refer to your Chassis Guide).
Refer to the chassis manual for detail on hitch specifications and towing guidelines.

Running Boards/Rear Bumper Entry Assist

Running boards are located on both sides and serve as a step into and out of the vehicle. The
rear bumper can be used for entry assist into the rear of the vehicle. When driving, snow,
dirt, rocks and other debris can collect on the running boards and bumper. It is imperative to
keep these areas clean when using them to enter or exit the vehicle.
Care should be taken when using the running boards and bumper as an entry
assist if the surfaces are wet.

Driver and Passenger Seat

Do not adjust the seat while driving. After adjusting the seat, make sure
that it is locked in position. To ensure that the seat is locked securely, try
to move the seat forward or backward without using the adjusting lever
or button. Do not put packages, pets or other objects between the driver's
and front passenger co-captain's seat.
If equipped with reclining seats: to minimize the risk of personal injury
in the event of a collision or sudden stop, always keep both the driver's
captain and passenger co-captain seat backs in a nearly upright position
while the motor home is moving. The protection provided by the seat
belts may be reduced significantly when the seat back is reclined. Reclin-
ing the seats while the motor home is moving may result in serious injury.
If equipped with power seats: keep hands and feet clear of the power
seat while in operating the power feature.
