Driving Safety - Tiffin Motorhomes GH1 2023 Owner's Manual

DRIVING SAFETY

Various adjustments must be made to ensure the driver's
comfort and the safety of the Van before starting and
moving the Van; these include:
•
Do not attempt to adjust the driver's seat while
the vehicle is moving.
•
Do not adjust the tilt steering while the vehicle
is moving.
•
The driver must be familiar with all gauges,
instruments, switches, and indicators on the
instrument panel before driving.
•
Do not operate the cruise-control function
during any extreme weather situations (e.g.,
snow, ice, sleet, heavy rain), when road
conditions are hazardous (icy, snowy, winding roads, city traffic), when a constant speed of
the Van is not possible, or if traffic conditions do not warrant such.
•
Avoid driving the Van through any standing water. If deep enough, such water can wet the
brake pads and cause fading of the brakes (i.e., loss of braking power) and lead to excessive
sliding or pulling to one side or the other.
•
NEVER use any other "burning" equipment (e.g., charcoal grills, wood stoves, butane lights,
propane lights) inside the Van. Doing so might cause fires and/or asphyxiation.
Any portable, fuel-burning equipment (e.g., charcoal, propane,
butane, wood) must not be used inside the Van. Any use of such
equipment inside the Van might readily cause fires and/or
asphyxiation by carbon-monoxide poisoning. Moreover, such
unauthorized use will probably invalidate your Van insurance policy.
DO NOT overextend either shade as this
might block the view of the road.
