DRIVING & SAFETY
DIPLOMAT 2004
If an emergency situation occurs, use the appropriate braking technique
and pull off the roadway a safe distance from traffic (if possible). Set the
parking brake and turn on the hazard warning flashers, especially when parked
alongside traffic lanes. In the event of an emergency stop due to a mechanical
breakdown or other motorhome related problems, contact the
manufacturer’s
Customer Support at (1-877-466-6226) or an emergency
service provider.
An emergency road kit should include at least three reflective warning
signs, road flares, a flashlight, spare automotive fuses and an assortment of
hand tools. For added safety a separate fire extinguisher should be
considered. The motorhome is equipped with a fire extinguisher located
inside next to the co-pilot seat. Road flares or reflective warning signs should
be displayed if the motorhome is alongside of the road for any length
of time.
Guidelines for placing the warning triangles depend upon the road character-
istics and visibility. For example: The standard placement is 10 feet, 100 feet
and 200 feet from the rear of the motorhome when on a divided highway or
one-way road. On a two-way road, with traffic traveling both directions, the
same placement would also be required at the front of the motorhome. Roads
with curves and hills may require the placement of the last/furthest triangle to
be 500 feet behind the motorhome in order to safely warn approaching traffic.
The retractable light is located in places of limited lighting for emergency
purposes. Normally, one will be located in the engine service compartment
and in the front generator compartment.
To use:
1. Activate light by moving ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
2. The light is on an 18’ rectractable reel cord. To
operate, lift the lever and pull the light out.
3. The light has a magnetic base attached. Locate a
place to attach the light so you can work hands
free.
4. To replace bulb push down on clear plastic cover
and twist.
5. To rewind, crank the handle in the retract direction.
When fully retracted, push down on the lever
handle to keep the light locked into place.
