Optimal Engine Speed Indicator
The tachometer displays a green bar just
below the most efficient engine speed for
the vehicle.
The placement and size of this bar is
dependent on the engine as installed at the
factory. The driver’s general goal should be
to select a gear that keeps the tachometer
needle positioned over the green light as
much as possible during steady state
driving. In addition to proper maintenance
and good driving habits, this visual cue can
help minimize the fuel consumption.
Sleeper Bunks
WARNING
Always keep the lower bunk in its
down (latched) position while the vehi-
cle is moving. If left open, stored items
could become loose during an acci-
dent and strike you. Before you move
the vehicle, check to be sure the lower
bunk is latched securely. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal
injury.
WARNING
Be sure the latch that holds the upper
bunk in the folded position is working
properly so the bunk will not fall down.
If the bunk falls, you could be injured.
WARNING
Any loose items on the upper or lower
bunk should be moved to a secured
place before driving the vehicle. Fail-
ure to comply may result in death, per-
sonal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Be sure the restraint system is used
when anyone is occupying the sleeper
while the vehicle is moving. In an acci-
dent, an unrestrained person lying in a
sleeper bunk could be seriously in-
jured. He or she could be thrown from
the bunk. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
WARNING
Be sure no one ever rides in the upper
bunk. That person could be thrown out
in an accident and could be very seri-
ously injured. The upper bunk is not
equipped with a restraint system. DO
NOT use the upper bunk while you are
moving. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
The sleeper restraint is stored in a
compartment on the rear sleeper cab wall.
