DRI V ING SAFETY
Various adjustments need to be made to assure the drivers comfort and the safety of the
motorhome before starting and putting the motorhome in motion; these include:
• Do not attempt to adjust the driver's seat while the motorhome is in motion.
• Do not adjust the vehicle's tilt steering wheel while the motorhome is in motion.
• The driver should be familiar with all gauges, instrument panel icons, switches and other
indicators on the instrument panel prior to driving. Please refer to the chassis
manufacturer Owner's Manual for further information.
• Do not operate the cruise control function during any extreme weather situations (e.g.,
snow, ice, sleet or heavy rain) or when road conditions are hazardous (i.e., icy, snowy,
winding roads or heavy city traffic). Also do not operate when a constant speed of the
motorhome is not possible or if traffic conditions don't warrant such operation.
• Avoid driving the motorhome through any standing water. If deep enough such water can
wet the brake pads and cause fading or failure of the motorhomes brakes. This can lead to
excessive sliding or pulling of the motorhome from one side to the other.
• Know the limits of operation of the motorhome. Do not attempt to:
o
Achieve excessive speeds
o
Climb overly steep hills
o
Traverse overly long hill grades
o
Attempt to use the motorhome as an "off the road" (OTR) motorhome
o
Rapidly switch lanes
o
Rapidly accelerate or decelerate the motorhome
• When in doubt about the handling characteristics of the motorhome, consult your chassis
manual for further information.
• NEVER drive the motorhome with a slide out room extended.
