ᘐ WARNING
BATTERY BOOST WARNING: Consult the chassis
manual in the Motorhome Information Kit for
proper jump starting/boosting procedures.
OVERHEATING
If the engine overheats while driving, follow these steps:
1. Pull to the side of the road and stop immediately.
2. Shut off the engine.
ᘐ WARNING
To avoid burns or other injury, allow coolant to
cool before removing any cap from a radiator or
coolant recovery tank.
3. Check coolant level in the coolant recovery tank.
The coolant level should be between the "full" and
"add" marks on the tank.
4. If the coolant level is low, proceed as follows:
• Check for visible leaks from the hose
connections, radiator and water pump.
• Make sure the serpentine or separate water
pump belt is tight and the cooling fan is turning.
• If coolant level is low, add coolant to the recovery
tank as soon as possible.
• If the coolant is leaking, the serpentine or
separate water pump belt is loose or broken,
or the red warning light stays on, do NOT start
the engine until the problem is corrected.
5. Once the temperature gauge returns to normal,
resume driving and keep an eye on the gauge. Do
NOT resume driving until the problem has been
corrected and the temperature has returned to
normal.

PARKING

PARKING
You can stop and park your motorhome much like an
automobile; however, always remember that the unit is
longer, wider and higher than a typical automobile and
requires more room and clearance.
ᘐ NOTICE
Always set the parking brake and place wheel
chocks in front and rear of wheels to prevent
unexpected movement.

BACKING UP

Using Mirrors
Large mirrors are mounted on both sides of your
motorhome to provide rearward visibility for the driver.
They do not provide visibility directly behind or on top
(clearance) of the unit, however.
USING SPOTTERS
For best results, have another person help guide the
driver while backing. The driver and spotter should
agree to the meaning of hand signals before starting
the backing process. The spotter should always be in a
position that is visible to the driver while backing
ᘐ CAUTION
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
parking. When parking and pulling away, make
sure that there are no persons, animals or objects
in the maneuvering area. The rear view camera is
a visual parking aid only.
