Section 3: In Case Of Driving Emergency; Hazard Flashers; Spare Tire - Winnebago Suncruiser 1999 Owner's Manual

HAZARD WARNING
FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addition-
al safety when the vehicle must be stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible haz-
ard to other motorists. When the flasher is on, it
serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
WARNING
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway
is illegal.
The front and rear turn signals will flash inter-
mittently when the flashers are in operation.
When it is necessary to leave the vehicle, the
flasher system will continue to operate with the
ignition key removed.
See your Chevy, Ford or Freightliner chassis
operator's guide for information on operating the
hazard warning flashers.
IF YOU GET A FLAT TIRE
In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
brake application. Gradually decrease speed.
Hold steering wheel firmly and move slowly to a
safe, off-road place. Park on a level spot, turn off
the ignition, and turn on the hazard warning
flasher system.
SPARE TIRE STORAGE
Chevy or Ford Chassis
The spare tire is mounted on a cable hoist
assembly beneath the rear of the vehicle on gas
engine models.
Freightliner Diesel Chassis
Because of the size of this vehicle and the
possible complications involved in tire chang-
ing, this chassis is not supplied with a spare tire.
