Your motor home is equipped with air suspension. When the
engine is started the snspension will begin to fill with air,
lifting the motor home body 4-6 inches. A buzzer will sound
until the air tanks are sufficiently full for proper operation.
Your motor home has four suspension air bags - two for
each axle. The pressure in these bags is controlled by three
air valves. These valves are preset and determine the distance
between the chassis and axle, or
"ride height." Each air bag
may contain a different air pressure. This pressure is deter-
mined automatically by the system to maintain a level chas-
sis, and is continually adjusted
as
long as the chassis engine
. .
IS
runnmg.
The air suspension system is not the same as the Leveling
System. See
Leveling System.
Be cautious when maneuvering to allow for the length and
width
of
the vehicle. Always allow room to corner and to
change lanes. Your vehicle's side view mirrors and rear view
camera monitor (if equipped) will help you keep aware
of
your vehicle's position and the position
of
other vehicles
andlor obstructions near your motor home.
You
must monitor
them constantly while you are driving. Become familiar with
the operation
of
the side mirrors and learn to use them to
view objects and the road beside and behind the motor home.
The rear view mirrors are controlled from a panel located on
the driver's left side instrument panel.
To
adjust the mirrors,
select either LEFT or RIGHT mirror and press the appropri-
ate arrow. Activate the mirror heaters (if equipped) by press-
ing the HEATER position.
Remember that your motor home is heavier than a car, mak-
ing it less maneuverable and harder
to
stop. Also, because
of
its greater side surface area, it is more easily affected by

NOTE
Although your motor
home
is equipped with
power steering, the front
wheels may
be
difficult
to
turn
when
at a
dead
stop.
When
maneuvering in
some close situations,
give yourself some room
to
move
either forward
or
backward.
The
vehicle
has
to
be
in
