Vehicle Operation
NOTICE
BATTERY BOOST WARNING: Consult
the chassis manual in the Motorhome
Information Kit for proper jump starting/
boosting procedures.
NOTICE
Always set the parking brake and place
wheel chocks in front and rear of wheels to
prevent unexpected movement.
Overheating
If the engine overheats while driving, follow
these steps:
1. Pull to the side of the road and stop
immediately.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Check coolant level in the coolant recovery
tank. The coolant level should be between
the “full” and “add” marks on the tank.
4. If the coolant level is low, proceed as follows:
● Check for visible leaks from the hose
connections, radiator, and water pump.
● Make sure the belts are tight and the
cooling fan is turning.
● If coolant level is low, add coolant to the
recovery tank as soon as possible.
● If the coolant is leaking, the fan belt is
loose or broken, or the red warning light
stays on, do NOT start the engine until
the problem is corrected.
5. Once the temperature gauge returns to
normal, resume driving, and keep an eye
on the gauge. Do NOT resume driving until
the problem has been corrected and the
temperature has returned to normal.
Parking
1. Parking
You can stop and park your motorhome
much like an automobile; however, always
remember that the unit is longer, wider,
and higher than a typical automobile and
requires more room and clearance.
● Using Mirrors
Large mirrors are mounted on both
sides of your motorhome to provide
rearward visibility for the driver. They do
not provide visibility directly behind or
on top (clearance) of the unit, however.
● Using Spotters
For best results, have another person
help guide the driver while backing. The
driver and spotter should agree to the
meaning of hand signals before starting
the backing process. The spotter should
always be in a position that is visible to
the driver while backing.
2. Backing Up
Caution
The rear view camera is only an aid. It
cannot replace your own awareness of
the immediate surroundings. You are
responsible for safe parking. When parking
and pulling away, make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the
maneuvering area. The rear view camera is
a visual parking aid only.
