SECTION 4
TOWING & HANDLING

D
riving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we
recommend you pay special attention to the
following:
‰
The use of daytime running lights can
increase other motorists' awareness of the
RV to all traffic.
‰
Keep the tires inflated to the specified
levels. Replace the tires before they are
excessively worn.
‰
Before changing lanes, check the outside
rearview mirrors for other vehicles and
activate the appropriate turn signal to alert
other drivers.
‰
While driving, watch the behavior of other
drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. Always
follow all traffic laws and regulations. Pay
attention to traffic and road conditions. Be
a courteous and alert driver. Always leave
room for unexpected events, such as
sudden braking.
‰
Never drive when you are sleepy or tired.
Never drive when alcohol, drugs or
medication have affected your judgment,
reflexes or alertness.
‰
Obey all traffic laws and use your
seatbelts at all times. Many states have
lower speed limit requirements for tow
vehicle/RV combinations. We recommend
that you do not exceed the posted speed
limit when towing an RV.
‰
Driving with the propane system on can
add to the danger if you are involved in an
accident or have a fire. Most refrigerators
will keep food cold or frozen for eight
hours without running while you travel.
Shut the propane system off at the
propane cylinder.
‰
Adverse weather conditions and extremes
in terrain may affect the performance and
handling of your tow vehicle. Do not
operate the tow vehicle cruise control on
icy or extremely wet roads, winding roads,
in heavy traffic or in any other traffic
situation where a constant speed cannot
be maintained.
Do not leave children or pets unsupervised
in the vehicle (even if children are secured
by a child restraint system). They could:
□ Injure themselves on parts of the
vehicle.
□ Unlock and open the entry door, or
open the emergency exit window, and
then possibly injure other persons or
damage property.
□ Get out of the vehicle and either injure
themselves when doing so or they
could be injured by passing vehicles.
□ Be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold.
Do not expose child restraint systems to
direct sunlight. Metallic parts of the child
restraint system could heat up, for
example, and the child could be burned or
injured.
You must observe the law if you are
driving when operating a cell phone in your
tow vehicle. If it is permitted to operate a
cell phone while the tow vehicle is in
motion, you must only operate it when
road and traffic conditions permit. You may
otherwise be distracted from the traffic
conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Some cell phones may interfere with your
tow vehicle electronics and thereby
jeopardize the operational safety of your
tow vehicle (to research this further,
contact your tow vehicle dealer or
manufacturer for additional information).
