Cayman 2006 Driving & Safety — Section 2 • 35
EMERGENCY ROADSIDE PROCEDURES
Road fl ares or refl ective warning signs should be displayed if the motorhome is alongside of the road for any
length of time. Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road characteristics and visibility.
For example: The standard placement is 10 feet, 100 feet and 200 feet from the rear of the motorhome when on a
divided highway or one-way road. On a two-way road, with traffi c traveling both directions, the same placement
would also be required at the front of the motorhome. Roads with curves and hills may require the placement of
the last/furthest triangle to be 500 feet behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffi c.
In Case of Flat Tire
In the event of a fl at tire, it is recommended to call for roadside assistance. The size and weight of the
motorhome and its tires require proper equipment to change the tire. A professional service technician will have
the equipment and training needed to repair or replace the tire. In the case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
braking. Hold the steering wheel fi rmly and gradually decrease speed. Slowly move to a safe off-road place,
which should be a fi rm level spot. Turn the ignition OFF and turn the hazard fl asher system ON. Save the old tire
for possible warranty coverage.
Running Out of Fuel
When the motorhome runs out of fuel, air will enter the fuel lines and fuel system components of the engine.
Diesel engines are sensitive to air in the fuel system. If the engine has stalled due to low fuel, it will be necessary
to prime the fuel system to restart the engine. Several gallons of fuel will be necessary in the tank before
attempting to prime the fuel system.
CAUTION:
The engine will sputter for a short period before it stops running due to a low fuel condition.
Pull off the road on a firm level surface a safe distance away from traffic. Steering may
become stiff if the engine stops running.
To Prime the Fuel System:
1. Add 20 gallons of fuel to the empty tank, possibly more if the motorhome is parked on an angle.
2. Follow instructions in To Prime the Fuel System located under Fuel System/Fuel Filters - Section 10.
