On The Road
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 [R leverse.
3. Monitor on.
Mode 2 - On (Indicator will be lit to amber)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Monitor on.
Using the rear view video monitor will take
practice. Always allow more space for maneu-
vering until you are comfortable with 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 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.
05-20
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.
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
COlTO-
sian 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 Operalor's/Owner's
Guide/Manual in the Owner's Information
Package for chassis engine fuel recommenda-
tions. The standard generator is designed to lUn
on the same fuel as the chassis engine, or on LP
gas. Consult the generator operating instructions
for special cautions about maintenance with dif-
ferent types of fuels.
Modern fuel systems may build up vapor pres-
sure wi thin the tank as the fuel warms during
use or hot weather. Under certain conditions,
sudden release of this pressure when removing
the fuel cap can cause fuel to spray from the fill
opening, creating a fire hazard.
A.
WARNING
When removing the fuel fill cap, rotate it slowly only
far enough to allow the pressure to release. After any
"hissing" sound stops, remove the cap completely.
To protect the fuel system from excessive pres-
sure or vacuum, or from sudden release of pres-
sure, replace lost or damaged fuel fill caps with
caps of the same design which are available
from your Fleetwood motor home dealer.
