SIDE VIEW POWER MIRRORS (IF SO EQUIPPED)
After adjusting the front driver’s seat, adjust the exterior side view power mirrors to
your driving preference.
Power remote mirrors
You can adjust the power remote mirrors when the ignition key is in the ON or
ACC position.
1. Move the control knob to the side you want to adjust.
2. Press the control arrows in the direction you want the mirror to move.
3. Return the control knob to the center to lock the mirror(s) into place.
The power remote mirrors also contain heating elements to defog or de-ice the
mirrored glass if needed. To activate this feature, use the “Mirror Heat” control
located on the driver’s side console next to the mirror control.
NOTE: To prevent the batteries from running down, operate the power remote
mirrors when the chassis engine is running.
BRAKING & STOPPING
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear (or lower range if you
have automatic transmission). Avoid conditions that require excessive and
prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short intervals to give
them a chance to cool.
The vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling downhill speed and
can lengthen brake life. The distance required to stop the motor home is greater
than an automobile’s. 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.
WARNING
Do not set anything on or attach anything to the instrument panel or dash. Do
not attach anything to the steering wheel cover such as trim material, badges,
etc. Failure to follow these warnings may restrict the driver's visibility or cause
an object to strike and injure an occupant in the case of a collision or sudden
stop
WARNING
Your motor home braking system is rated for operation at GVWR not
WARNING
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or
debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and may
result in property damage or personal injury.
