If you can't avoid operating, parking or idling
your vehicle off-road:
• Be aware that combustible materials could
catch fire from the vehicle's hot exhaust
system.
• Avoid driving your vehicle through or over
combustible materials such as leaves, grass,
vegetation or stubble high enough to touch,
catch or collect on its hot exhaust system.
• Parking or idling should be done only in
an area where there are no combustible
materials under the vehicle.
A
WARNING
Do not park or idle the motor home over combustible
materials such as tall grass or dried leaves.
Combustible materials may catch fire from the hot
exhaust gases, soot or sparks that could escape
through corrosion holes or cracks. This is particularly
important if the exhaust system has not been properly
maintained.
REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
(If Equipped)
If
your motor home is equipped with rear view
video monitor, the camera is located at the top
rear of the motor home. The rear view picture is
displayed on a screen in the driver's compart-
ment. The monitor screen may be overlaid with a
distance scale reference which gives approximate
distance of objects to the rear of the motor home.
The rear view video monitor works in two modes:
Mode 1 - Standby (Indicator will be lit to green)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Shift the transmission to [Rleverse.
3. Monitor on.
Mode 2 - On (Indicator will be lit to amber)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Monitor on.
On The Road
Using the rear view video monitor will take
practice. Always allow more space for maneu-
vering until you are comfortable with the sys-
tem. Check the side-mounted mirrors often
while driving and especially during lane
changes and when backing up.
The camera lens is exposed to road dirt and will
get dirty. When necessary, clean the camera lens
and monitor screen with a quality glass cleaner
and nonabrasive cloth or towel.
CAUTION
The rear view video monitor system provides a gen-
eral view of the road and objects to the rear of the
motor home. Your perception of this view and the rela-
tionships of objects to the motor home and each other
will be different from that seen in a rear view mirror.
Light conditions and the adjustment of the screen
controls will also affect your perception. Always use
the side-mounted rear view mirrors with the video
monitor system.
BODY UNDERCOATING
Certain chassis and underbody components of
your motor home have been coated with an under-
coating material. This material is intended to
assist in protecting these components from corro-
sion or other effects of weather and road
conditions. Please be aware that certain areas of
the motor home do not have undercoating applied,
in keeping with good engineering practice, and to
meet the requirements of chassis manufacturers.
FUEL AND FUEL SYSTEMS
See the Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual in the Owner's In/ormation
Package for chassis engine fuel recommenda-
tions. The standard generator is designed to run
on the same fuel as the chassis engine, or on
Propane. Consult the generator operating
instructions for special cautions about mainte-
nance with different types of fuels.
