DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2-5
•
If one has driven through standing water, at the first opportunity safely to do so, check the braking action.
If braking has degraded, lightly apply the brakes to allow the brake pads to dry—don’t use the motor home
when the braking function is significantly reduced.
•
Know the limits of operation of the motor home. Don’t try to achieve excessive speeds, climb overly steep hills,
traverse overly long grades, attempt to use the motor home as an “off-the-road” (OTR) motor home, rapidly
switch lanes, or rapidly accelerate or decelerate the motor home. When in doubt about the handling
characteristics of the motor home, consult your chassis manual for information.
•
The solar or blackout shade is operated by a switch located on the driver’s console. Depress the switch to lower
or raise shade. The switch will be labeled “VISOR.” The time delay switch must be held a few seconds before it
is activated. CAUTION: DO NOT over extend the shade as this may block the view of the road.
ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission) Switch
On the driver’s side console, one will notice a switch labeled “ICC.” This switch (Figure 2-
2) is a momentary pushbutton switch--it is active only when the switch is being pressed.
This switch enables the driver to communicate with other traffic by flashing the clearance
and sidelights of the Phaeton. If the lights are presently “on,” the switch will
momentarily turn them “off.” If the lights are “off,” the switch will momentarily
turn them “on.”
Fuels for the Motor home
Your motor home is designed to use low sulfur fuel only for the engine used in the routine operation of the
motor home—these require prudent and safe handling to assure safety of the motor home and its occupants;
namely:
