Cayman 2005

Night Driving:
• As always be well rested and alert when driving. If necessary, find a safe stopping place to
rest until ready to continue.
• Avoid using interior lights while driving that can create a glare on the windshield and
decrease visibility.
• Dim dash lights to a comfortable level to reduce the level of glare.
Extreme Heat and Hot Weather Conditions:
• Frequently observe all gauges. Variations from normal conditions should be promptly eval-
uated.
• Check tire pressure before traveling in hot conditions. Tire air pressure increases with
heat. Do not let air out of a hot tire. When the tires cool down they will return to the cor-
rect/previous tire pressure.
• Pay extra attention to hoses and belts that are more susceptible to fatigue in extreme heat.
Winter and Cold Climate Conditions:
• The motorhome should be prepared for Cold Weather Use.
• Keep speeds slow and steady. Make moves gradually and increase visual distance for a
gain in reaction time.
• If road or weather conditions are treacherous find a safe stopping place and wait for condi-
tions to improve.
• Avoid using the Exhaust Brake on wet or slippery surfaces, which can cause the drive wheels
to skid.
• Wiper blades should be in good condition. Fill the washer reservoir with antifreeze formula
window washer fluid.
• Use mirror heat to keep mirrors clear.
• Remove any ice build-up from the entry step to avoid accidental slipping.
Wet Conditions:
• Worn or improperly inflated tires can increase the risk of hydroplaning.
• Heavy rain or deep standing water can cause brakes to apply unevenly or grab.
