Safety Considerations
Prior to using your motor home, especially for the first time or after a long period of non-use, please read
thoroughly all the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the chassis-manufacturer’s manual before attempting
to operate your motor home. There are several safety considerations which you should realize and follow while
your Phaeton is in motion. These safety considerations, as well as others meant to preclude any damage to the
motor home, are listed in this chapter. Besides the driver, it would be helpful for the passengers to be familiar
with these safety considerations and precautions, too.
Warning
Before your motor home is to be towed, be sure that you have read the entire Owner’s
Manual and that you fully understand the equipment on your motor home and how to
use that equipment safely.
General Warning
Warning
Any portable, fuel-burning equipment (e.g., charcoal, propane, butane, wood) must not
be used inside the motor home. Any use of such equipment inside the motor home
may readily cause fires and/or asphyxiation by carbon-monoxide poisoning. Further,
such unauthorized use would probably invalidate your motor-home insurance policy.
In general, there are several “common-sense” safety precautions that should be taken every time the
motor home is to be used on the road. These precautions include:
•
Only seats with seat belts should be used while the motor home is in motion; those seat belts
should be worn by all people (driver, passengers) in the motor home at that time.
•
While the motor home is moving, lock all seats in the forward-facing position to provide
maximum safety for the users.
•
While the motor home is moving, no one inside should ever stand or kneel on seats (e.g., young
children).
