Section 2: Occupant Safety
Fire Safety
If a fire does start, follow these basic safety rules:
1. Call 911 and evacuate the vehicle immediately.
2. After everyone is accounted for, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out.
3. If it is large, or the fire is fuel-fed, get clear of the vehicle and have the Fire Department
handle the emergency.
4. Do not attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
Refer to the following sections for additional fire safety information.
 Electrical Systems, In case of an electrical fire.
 Appliances, In case of a grease fire.

Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications
identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.
Class A - Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B - Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable liq -
uids.
Class C - Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only.
We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the
side of the fire extinguisher.
Inspection and maintenance
Read and follow all instructions on the label and user’s manual provided by the fire extin -
guisher manufacturer.
 Inspect the extinguisher at least once a week (more frequently if it is exposed to
weather or possible tampering). This should also be done before beginning a va-
cation or during an extended trip.
NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to the
fire extinguisher user’s manual included in your warranty packet
