On The Road
05-16
If you can’t avoid operating, parking or idling
your vehicle off-road:
• Be aware that combustible materials could
catch re from the vehicle’s hot exhaust
system .
• Avoid driving your vehicle through or over
combustible materials such as leaves, grass,
vegetation or stubble high enough to touch,
catch or collect on its hot exhaust system.
• Parking or idling should be done only in
an area where there are no combustible
materials under the vehicle.
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
compartment. 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)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Shift the transmission to [R]everse.
3. Monitor on.
Mode 2 – On (Indicator will be lit)
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Monitor on.
Using the rear view video monitor will
take practice. Always allow more space for
maneuvering until you are comfortable with
the system. Check the side-mounted mirrors
often while driving and especially during lane
changes and when backing up.
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
undercoating material. This material is intended to
assist in protecting these components from
corrosion 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 Operator’s/Owner’s Guide/
Manual in the Owner’s Information Package
for chassis engine fuel recommenda tions . The
standard generator is designed to run on the
same fuel as the chassis engine, or on Propane.
Consult the generator operating instructions
for special cautions about maintenance with
different types of fuels.
WARNING
Do not park or idle the motor home over combus-
tible materials such as tall grass or dried leaves.
Combustible materials may catch re 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 prop-
erly maintained.
!
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 ob jects 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.
