SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
there is less chance of the doors flying open
in event of an accident. It also prevents unin-
tentional opening of doors and keeps intrud-
ers out of your vehicle.
6. Check to see that all gauges are operating
properly.
7. Check the fuel level in the vehicle.
8. Be certain that the fire extinguisher is fully
charged and secure in its mounting bracket.
CAUTION
Be sure hood and all compartment
doors are latched securely before
driving vehicle

KEYS

Your motor home is supplied with several sets
of keys. In addition to the chassis manufacturer's
ignition key, you receive keys for front doors, en-
trance door, and exterior compartment doors.
Each set of keys has an identification number,
either a small metal tag or stamped into the key
head. Record these numbers and keep them in a
safe place. In case keys are lost or stolen, your
dealer or a locksmith can provide you with dupli-
cate keys or modify the locks.

FUEL SELECTION

Refer to your chassis operating guide for the
manufacturer's recommendations on proper fuel
selection.
2-2
WARNING
Modern fuel systems may build up
pressure within the tank as the gaso-
line warms during use or in hot weath-
er.
Under certain conditions, sudden
release of this pressure when remov-
ing the gasoline cap can spray gaso-
line from the fuel fill opening,
causing a possible hazard.

GASOLINE FUEL FILL

REMOVING THE FUEL CAP
When removing the gasoline cap, slowly ro-
tate it only far enough to allow pressure to re-
lease. After any "hissing" sounds stop, continue
removing the cap.
FILLING THE TANK
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow gasoline
to pump into the tank until the auto-shutoff valve
in the fuel pump nozzle stops the flow of fuel, in-
dicating a full tank. This provides a pre-deter-
mined vapor space at the top of the tank to allow
for expansion of the gasoline.
CAUTION
Continuing to fill above this level
may cause damage to the fuel/evapo-
rative emission system.
