tions swing down and adjust to provide relief from glare
and bright skies. The visors do not adjust to shade the
side windows.
Swivel tension may be adjusted with a flat blade
screwdriver at the tension adjusting screw.

DRIVING AND PARKING
Once you become accustomed to the feel of the con-
trols and the reference points from the driver's seat. you
will find driving the motor home comparable to driving
your famiy car. Become familiar with the position of the
motor home in traffic, and be cautious when maneuver-
ing to allow for the length and width of the vehicle.
Always allow extra room to corner and to change lanes.
Learn to use the side mirrors to view the road behind.
Check them often.
Drive with consideration on the highway, observing
all spped and safety regulations. The best cruising speed
of your motor home will vary with road and weather
conditions.
Remember that your motor home is heavier than a
car, making it less maneuverable and harder to stop.
Also, because of its greater side surface area, it is more
easily affected by cross winds. Allow extra distances
for passing and stopping, and drive at a moderate speed,
particularly in traffic and in gusty wind conditions.
Driving on winding or mountain roads is not difficult
if done with reasonable care. Observe proper vehicle
speeds when ascending or descending hills and always
operate in the proper transmission range. Downshift on
hills to avoid overheating or undue engine loads.
D.ownshlft when descending grades. Engine braking
power will help control vehicle speed, and relieve some
of the strain on the brakes.
Road conditions, terrain, weather, and other driving
factors are sometimes unpredictable, and mountain driv-
ing or desert temperatures can put extreme demands
on drivetrain components - especially the transmission.
Under extreme heat conditions you may need to turn
off the vehicle air conditioner to improve engine and
transmission cooling.
Allow for the extra height of your motor home and
avoid areas having low overhead clearance. Check for
low-hanging tree branches or other obstructions
whenever you drive or park. Avoid low roofs when pull-
11
ing in for service. Always check overhead clearances
of overpasses and bridges. This may be particularly im-
portant if you drive with the overhead vents open or
if the motor home is equipped with a roof air condi-
tioner, roof rack, CB or TV/radio antenna.
When parking parallel to a curb, be sure to allow for
poles or obstructions as the front and rear portions of
the motor home swing wider than an automobile. When
parking on an incline, turn the front wheels into the curb
in the direction of the roll to aid the parking brake. Always
shift the transmission to PARK ("P") and set the park-
ing brake when parking.
REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
The Limited is equipped with a rear view video
monitor. The wide-angle, fixed-focus camera is located
at the top rear of the motor home. The rear-view pic-
ture is displayed on a screen on the motor home in-
strument panel. The monitor screen is overlayed with
a distance scale reference which gives approximate
distance relationships of objects to the rear of the motor
home.
The system operates only while the ignition switch
is ON, and may be turned off at the screen control panel.
Controls on the screen· allow you to adjust brightness
and contrast as lighting conditions change.
Rear View Video Monitor
Using the video monitor will take practice. Always
allow more space for maneuvering until you are com-
fortable with using the system. Check the side-mounted
mirrors often while driving and especially during lane
changes and when backing up.
CAUTION: THE REAR VIEW VIDEO MONITOR
SYSTEM PROVIDES A GENERAL VIEW OF THE
ROAD AND OBJECTS TO THE REAR OF THE
MOTOR HOME. YOUR PERCEPTION OF THIS
VIEW AND THE RELATIONSHIPS OF OBJECTS TO
THE MOTOR HOME AND EACH OTHER WILL BE
DIFFERENT THAN THAT SEEN IN A REAR VIEW
MIRROR. LIGHT CONDITIONS AND THE ADJUST-
MENT OF THE SCREEN CONTROLS WILL ALSO
