SECTION 2 SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
•
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
•
Make sure all passengers have seat belts
fastened. Lap belts should fit low on the hips
and upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned snug over the shoulder.
•
For pregnant women, the lap belt should be
placed under the abdomen and across the
upper thighs. The shoulder belt should be
positioned across the center of the chest.
Consult your doctor if you have any
questions.
•
Child restraints should be installed properly
according to manufacturer's instructions. See
"Child Restraints."
•
All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.
•
Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
•
Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
•
Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation.
•
Inspect the fire extinguisher monthly for
proper charge and operating condition. This
should also be done before beginning a
vacation or any extended trip.
DRIVING SAFETY
•
Do not attempt to adjust the driver's seat while
the vehicle is moving.
•
Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehicle.
•
Do not operate the cruise control on icy or
extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where
a constant speed cannot be maintained.
•
Use care when accelerating or decelerating on
a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
•
Driving through water deep enough to wet the
brakes may affect stopping distance or cause
the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake
operation in a safe area to be sure they have
not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
•
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or
performance of your vehicle. Refer to your
chassis manual for related information.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
Your coach is equipped with one of the
propane gas leak detectors shown below. The
leak detector sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of propane gas is present inside the
coach.
Propane Gas Leak Detectors (typical)
Because propane gas is heavier than air, the
leak detector is located on a cabinet face near the
floor of the coach.
