DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Smoke Detector
The Allegro Bus motor home is equipped with a battery-operated smoke detector (Figure 2-6) located on the ceiling in
the living area of the motor home (left-hand side of picture). Read and become familiar with the operation and periodic
testing of this detector. The smoke detector should be tested on a weekly basis, before each trip, and after any period
of storage of the motor home. If a low battery condition is noted or the alarm “chirps” to indicate a low-battery
condition, immediately replace the battery.
It would be prudent to keep replacement batteries in the motor home for
any in-transit replacements so that the smoke-alarm capability is never
compromised. DO NOT disable the smoke detector for any transient, false
alarm (e.g., cooking smoke, dusty furnace, tobacco smoke); rather, ventilate
the motor home with fresh air and the alarm will reset.
Emergency Exit Window
In the rear of the motor home, there is an emergency exit window (Figure
2-7) in the bedroom—this window is designed for an emergency exit when
it is not practical to exit by the door [also an emergency exit] in the front of
the motor home. This window is readily noticeable by its red handle and
the red “EXIT” label on that window.
To use this window as an emergency exit, lift the handle and push outward
on the window. As required, the window can be closed by pulling the
window inwards and then lowering the handle to latch the window back in
place. When the motor home is to be parked, it would be wise to note
where this window will be so that this exit won’t be blocked (e.g., against a
tree, pole, or wall).
Parking Procedures
To park the motor home in any unfamiliar terrain, examine the prospective site for surface irregularities, slopes
or inclines, and other discontinuities (i.e., stumps, rocks, external connections for power/water/sewage) and
also examine the area immediately above the proposed parking site for obstructions (e.g., tree branches and
limbs, signs, overhead wiring).
If the motor home is to be backed into the proposed parking site, strive to have that site be on the driver’s left hand
side, as this will allow the driver to watch the rear of the motor home. Back up slowly and use the side
mirrors and the back-up camera as a guide or, better yet, have another person outside provide supplemental
guidance to help park the motor home.
