Section 3: In Case Of Driving Emergency; Spare Tire - Winnebago Sunflyer Manual

HAZARD WARNING
FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addition-
al safety when the vehicle must be stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible haz-
ard to other motorists. When the flasher is on, it
serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
WARNING
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway
is illegal.
The front and rear turn signals will flash inter-
mittently when the flashers are in operation.
When it is necessary to leave the vehicle, the
flasher system will continue to operate with the
ignition key removed.
See your Ford or Freightliner chassis opera-
tor's guide for information on operating the haz-
ard warning flashers.
IF YOU GET A FLAT TIRE
In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
brake application. Gradually decrease speed.
Hold steering wheel firmly and move slowly to a
safe, off-road place. Park on a level spot, turn off
the ignition, and turn on the hazard warning
flasher system.
SPARE TIRE STORAGE
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications in-
volved in tire changing, we strongly advise ob-
taining professional road service to change a flat
tire whenever possible. However, if an emergen-
cy situation requires you to change the tire your-
self, please exercise extreme caution and read all
tire changing information, both in this manual
and in the chassis manufacturer's operation
guide.
