Emergencies - Regency ULTRA Owner's Manual

VEHICLE OPERATION
EMERGENCIES WHILE DRIVING
Your motorhome is designed with features that allow
the driver and occupants to resolve emergencies or
failures while travelling. Review this section to
become familiar with the recommended procedures
to resolve these conditions or situations. Review this
section with all new drivers and before each trip.
Hazard Warning Lights
Your motorhome is equipped with a hazard warning
light system. Both the front and rear turn signals
flash in unison when the system is turned on. Refer
to the chassis manual in the Motorhome Information
Bag for additional details and location of the hazard
warning lights.
Activate the hazard warning lights whenever the
motorhome is stopped on the side of a roadway or
near moving traffic. The hazard warning lights alert
other motorists of a potential hazard and to take
extra care. The system is designed so the lights
continue flashing when the switch is on, even if the
key is in the off position or removed from the
ignition.
Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while operating your
motorhome, slow-down gradually to prevent loss of
control, and pull to the shoulder or the side of the
road. Stop on a level paved surface and engage the
parking brake. Refer to the following steps to change
the flat tire:
• Turn on the hazard warning lights.
• Place wheel chocks in front and rear of tire
located on the opposite side of the flat tire.

REGENCY ULTRA MOTORHOME
• Immediately contact a qualified roadside
repair service because your motorhome is
not equipped with a spare tire.
• If a roadside service is unavailable, inspect
the flat tire to determine whether you can
service or repair it.
• If you can service or repair the flat tire, you
must raise the vehicle using the jack.
• Consult
the chassis
Motorhome Information Bag to locate the
jack and to determine the proper jack
placement locations on the chassis.
• If the ground is soft or unstable, carefully
move the motorhome to a safe location
before attempting to lift with the jack.
• Use a jacking board for stability on loose or
soft ground.
• Raise the motorhome with the jack according
to the instructions in the chassis manual.
• Never allow any portion of anyone's body to
be under the vehicle at any time while raising
or supporting the motorhome with the jack.
• Before resuming travel with a new or
repaired tire, ensure the lug nuts are
tightened in the proper sequence and to the
torque specified in the chassis manual. Use a
torque wrench to ensure the specified
torque is achieved. Recheck and retorque the
wheel lug nuts after 25 and 100 miles (40 and
160 km) of operation.
