Vehicle Operation
8. When you leave home, inform someone of
your destination and your schedule. Notify
the same person if your plans change.
Emergencies While Driving
Your motorhome is designed with features
that allow the driver and occupants to resolve
emergencies or failures while travelling.
Review this section to become familiar with
the recommended procedures to resolve these
conditions or situations. Review this section
with all new drivers and before each trip.
Hazard Warning Lights
Your motorhome is equipped with a hazard
warning light system. Both the front and rear
turn signals flash in unison when the system is
turned on. Refer to the chassis manual in the
Motorhome Information Kit for additional details
and location of the hazard warning lights.
Activate the hazard warning lights whenever the
motorhome is stopped on the side of a roadway
or near moving traffic. The hazard warning
lights alert other motorists of a potential hazard
and to take extra care. The system is designed
so the lights continue flashing when the switch
is on, even if the key is in the off position or
removed from the ignition.
Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while operating your
motorhome, slow-down gradually to prevent
loss of control, and pull to the shoulder or the
side of the road. Stop on a level paved surface
and engage the parking brake. Refer to the
following steps to change the flat tire:
1. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
2. Place wheel chocks in front and rear of tire
located on the opposite side of the flat tire.
3. Immediately contact a qualified roadside
repair service because your motorhome is
not equipped with a spare tire.
4. If a roadside service is unavailable, inspect
the flat tire to determine whether you can
service or repair it.
5. If you can service or repair the flat tire, you
must raise the vehicle using the jack.
NOTICE
Attempting to pull or tow the motorhome
to start may result in major drivetrain
component failure or damage.
6. Consult the chassis manual in the
Motorhome Information Kit to locate the jack
and to determine the proper jack placement
locations on the chassis.
7. If the ground is soft or unstable, carefully
move the motorhome to a safe location
before attempting to lift with the jack.
8. Use a jacking board for stability on loose or
soft ground.
9. Raise the motorhome with the jack according
to the instructions in the chassis manual.
10. Never allow any portion of anyone’s body to
be under the vehicle at any time while raising
or supporting the motorhome with the jack.
11. Before resuming travel with a new or repaired
tire, ensure the lug nuts are tightened in the
proper sequence and to the torque specified
in the chassis manual. Use a torque wrench
to ensure the specified torque is achieved.
Recheck and retorque the wheel lug nuts
after 25 and 100 miles (40 and 160 km) of
operation.
When the Vehicle is Disabled
● Emergency Starting: Do not push or tow
the motorhome in an attempt to start it.
The powertrain is not designed to transmit
torque to turn the engine over for starting.
● Jump Starting/Boosting: Refer to the
chassis manual in the Motorhome
Instruction Kit for instructions.
● Break Down: If the motorhome breaks
down on the roadway, pull off the road and
stop, engage the parking brake, turn on
the hazard warning lights, and chock the
wheels if you are on uneven or unstable
ground. Call an approved towing service
and provide them with the vehicle make,
weight, length, width, and height to ensure
they dispatch an appropriately sized truck
to tow your motorhome to a qualified repair
facility.
