HAZARD WARNING FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addition-
al safety when the vehicle must be stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible haz-
ard to other motorists. When the flasher is on, it
serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
The front directional signals and the taillights
will flash intermittently when the flashers are in
operation. The hazard warning flashers will not
operate when the service brake pedal is
depressed. The turn signal will not operate when
the flashers are on. When it is necessary to leave
the vehicle, the flasher system will continue to
operate with the ignition key removed.
CRUISE CONTROL
The electronic speed control (cruise) allows
you to maintain a steady speed and relieve driv-
ing strain while traveling long distances.
See your chassis operator manual for com-
plete instructions and precautions on the cruise
control.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM -
Optional
The compact rearview monitor is mounted
into the driver side sun visor.
The push button POWER switch has two
modes - On and Standby.
The Standby position switches the display to
an inactive ‘sleep’ mode that will ‘wake up’
whenever the transmission is shifted into Re-
verse.
The ON position makes the display visible
when the ignition key is on, whether parked or
traveling down the road, for you to monitor your
tow vehicle or rear traffic.
The screen brightness is adjusted using the
two buttons ‘+’ brighter and ‘-’dimmer.
Do not operate the cruise control on
icy or extremely wet roads, winding
roads, in heavy traffic, or in any other
traffic situation where a constant
speed cannot be maintained.
