Rear View Video Monitor System - Fleetwood 1999 American Tradition Parts And Service Manual

ON ThE ROAd
The exhaust brake system is controlled by a master ON/OFF
switch on the dash and a throttle switch located in the throt-
tle system. This unit will only function when the master
switch in ON and the throttle pedal is at or near idle.
On dry road conditions your exhaust brake master switch can
be left on at all times.
Using the exhaust brake on wet or slippery roads - especially
on curves - may cause 'over-braking of the wheels and cause '
you to skid. It may also increase the stopping distance. See
the
Chassis Owner's Manual
for additional information.
Your motor home is equipped with a rear view video monitor
system. The camera is located at the top rear of the motor
home. The rear view picture is displayed on a video monitor
screen. The monitor screen may be overlaid with a distance
scale reference which gives approximate distance of objects
to the rear of the motor home.
To operate the video monitor:
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Shift the transmission to R.
To override normal operation, the ignition switch must be on
and power must be on at the monitor.
Using the video monitor will take practice. Always allow more
space for maneuvering 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 dirty often.
When necessary, clean the camera lens and monitor screen
with a quality glass cleaner and nonabrasive cloth or towel.

SYSTEM
CAUTION
The rear view video mon-
itor system provides a
general view of the road
and objects to the rear of
the motor home. Your per-
ception of this view and
the relationships of
objects to the motor
home and each other will
be different from that
seen in a rear view mir-
ror. Light conditions and
the adjustment of the
screen controls will also
affect your perception.
Always use the side-
mounted rear view mir-
rors with the video moni-
tor system.
