On The Road
If you can't avoid operating, parking or idling
your vehicle off-road:
• Be aware that combustible materials could
catch fire from the vehicle's hot exhaust
system.
• Avoid driving your vehicle through
01'
over
combustible materials such as leaves, grass,
vegetation or stubble high enough to touch,
catch
01'
collect on its hot exhaust system.
• Parking
01'
idling should be done only in
an area where there are no combustible
materials under the vehicle.
A.
WARNING
Do not park or idle the motor home over combustible
materials such as tali grass or dried leaves.
Combustible materials may catch fire from the hot
exhaust gases, soot or sparks that could escape
through corrosion holes or cracks. This is particularly
important if the exhaust system has not been properly
maintained.
REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
(If Equipped)
If your motor home is equipped with rear view
video monitor, the camera is located at the top
rear of the motor home. The rear view picture is
displayed on a screen in the driver's compart-
ment. The monitor screen may be overlaid with a
distance scale reference which gives approximate
distance of objects to the rear of the motor home.
The rear view video monitor works in two modes:
Mode 1 - Standby (Indicator will be lit)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Shift the transmission to [R]everse.
3. Monitor on.
Mode 2 - On (Indicator will be lit)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Monitor on.
05-16
Using the rear view video monitor will take
practice. Always allow more space for maneu-
vering until you are comfortable with the sys-
tem. Check the side-mounted mirrors often
while driving and especially during lane
changes and when backing up.
The camera lens is exposed to road dirt and will
get ditty. When necessmy, clean the camera lens
and monitor screen with a quality glass cleaner
and nonabrasive cloth or towel.
CAUTION
The rear view video monitor system provides a gen-
eral view of the road and objects to the rear of the
motor home. Your perception of this view and the rela-
tionships of objects to the motor home and each other
will be different from that seen in a rear view mirror.
Light conditions and the adjustment of the screen
controls will also affect your perception. Always use
the side-mounted rear view mirrors with the video
monitor system.
BODY UNDERCOATING
Certain chassis and underbody components of
your motor home have been coated with an under-
coating material. This material is intended to
assist in protecting these components from corro-
sion or other effects of weather and road condi-
tions. Please be aware that certain areas of the
motor home do not have undercoating applied, in
keeping with good engineering practice, and to
meet the requirements of chassis manufacturers.
