DRIVING SAFETY
Figure 2-1: Driver’s side dashboard and instrument console.
Various adjustments need to be
made to assure the driver’s comfort
and the safety of the motorhome
before starting and moving the
motorhome; these include:
 Do not attempt to adjust the
driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving.
 Do not adjust the tilt steering while
the vehicle is moving.
 The driver should be familiar with
all gauges, instruments, switches,
and indicators on the instrument
panel prior to driving.
 Do not operate the cruise-control
function during any extreme
weather situations (e.g., snow, ice,
sleet, heavy rain) or when road
conditions
are hazardous (icy, snowy, winding
roads, city traffic) or when a
constant speed of the motorhome is not possible or if traffic conditions don’t warrant such.
 Avoid driving the motorhome through any standing water. If deep enough, such water can wet
the brake pads and cause fading of the brakes (i.e., loss of braking power) and lead to excessive
sliding or pulling to one side or another.
 Know the limits of operation of the motorhome. Don’t try to achieve excessive speeds, climb
overly steep hills, traverse overly long grades, attempt to use the motorhome as an “off-the-road”
(OTR) motorhome, rapidly switch lanes, or rapidly accelerate or decelerate the motorhome.
When in doubt about the handling characteristics of the motorhome, consult your chassis manual
for information.

NEVER drive the vehicle with a slideout room extended.
