Generator Switch - The remote generator switch on the dash allows the driver to start or stop the
Generator without leaving the driver's seat. It should be noted a built-in time delay allows the
generator to reach full operating speed before 120 volt current is provided to the coach.
•
Mirror - Move center switch to R or L. The four perimeter switches will then move the right or
left mirror in the direction indicated. The paddle type switch marked heat is for defrosting the
mirrors. (Hopefully you won't need this unless you're a skier).
•
Map Lights – Lights mounted above both cab seats to aid in reading. Switches are mounted
in both armrests.
POWER SEAT CONTROLS
Besides the normal power seat switch there are two additional finger levers. One allows the seat to recline
and the other will allow the seat to rotate.
WARNING: Never adjust drivers seat while vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION: Revolving the power seat completely around will pull the wiring apart. The seats should
only be swiveled toward the center of the vehicle. If the wires are loosened they can be reconnected
by following the color code: Red to red, green to green, etc. On some models the wires will be on a
plug that can be reattached.
TRAILER TOWING AND DRIVING TIPS
Since this vehicle is designed and intended to be used primarily as a load carrying vehicle, towing a trailer
will affect handling, durability and economy. Maximum safety and satisfaction depends upon proper use of
correct equipment and avoiding overloads and other abusive operation.
CAUTION: The maximum loaded trailer weight that you can pull with your vehicle is 5,000 lbs.
Vehicles should be properly equipped for towing trailers. Information on trailer hauling capabilities
and special equipment required may be obtained from your Airstream dealer.
CAUTION: The Gross Combination Weight Rating is the total allowable weight of the motorhome
combined with the weight of the vehicle or trailer being towed. Do not exceed this weight whenever
you are towing behind your motorhome. 31,350 lbs. is the GCWR.
To assist in attaining good handling of the vehicle/trailer combination it is important that the trailer tongue
load be maintained at approximately 10% of the loaded trailer weight, but not to exceed 500 lbs. Tongue
loads can be adjusted by proper distribution of the load in the trailer, and can be checked by weighing
separately the loaded trailer and then the tongue.
When towing trailers, tires should be inflated to the highest pressures shown on the information plate
attached to the driver’s doorjamb or dash of your motorhome. The allowable passenger and cargo load
(GVW) of this vehicle is reduced by an amount equal to the trailer tongue load on the trailer bitch.
Trailer brakes are required on axles of trailers over 1,000 lbs. loaded weight,
CAUTION:
If your Freightliner chassis requires towing please refer to their manual for directions. They may be
called at 1-864-487-1700.
