CAUTION
- Short duration "hot" readings may not be harmful, but contin-
uous "hot" readings can lead to transmission failure.

forts to free a stuck motorhome may cause overheating, or result in damage to
the transmission or rear axle.

XHAUST
Under some conditions, driving with the rear windows open can permit
exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle. As a precaution against carbon monoxide
gas, the rear windows should be closed whenever the vehicle is operated. If it
is necessary to drive with the rear vented windows open, the following precau-
tions should be observed:
Close all other windows, and adjust heating or cooling systems to force
outside air into the vehicle by setting the controls in any position except OFF
or MAX A/C.
Bring outside air into the vehicle by the side panel air inlets, or fully open
vent windows as far as they will go to force outside air into front of the vehicle.
A partially open vent window will increase possibility of entrance of exhaust
fumes through rear window openings.
CAUTION -
If passengers are riding in the rear area, the rear vented win-
dows should be fully closed at all times.
WARNING -
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially toxic
gas that by itself is colorless and odorless. To avoid inhaling these gases the fol-
lowing precautions should be observed:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer
than needed to move your motorhome in or out of the area.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked motorhome with the engine running for
more than a short period, adjust your heating or cooling system to force outside
air into the motorhome. Set the fan at high speed and the controls in any posi-
tion except OFF or MAX A/C.
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the motorhome
body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
