SECTION 3 –
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME

3-8

Further Information

Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase 

for information and precautions on filling, 
servicing, and checking the fluid level.

LIGHTS

All exterior lights should be checked for 

proper operation each time the vehicle is 
prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light 
should be checked and replaced, when necessary, 
with a new bulb of the same size. A failure of 
more than one light, such as both taillights not 
operating, may indicate a burned out fuse. Check 
fuse and replace with one of the same rating 
when necessary. If a fuse is not the cause of the 
problem, the wiring system should be checked 
immediately by an authorized service center.

Further Information

Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase 

for further information.

TIRES

Improper tire pressure can result in tire 

overloading and abnormal wear and also affects 
handling, ride characteristics, and fuel economy. 

SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT 

AND TIRE BALANCE

The front suspension and steering system of 

this vehicle was factory aligned using highly 
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the 
dealership. However, alignment should be 
checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded 
the motor home according to your personal 
needs. Thereafter, the alignment should be 
periodically inspected to help prevent uneven tire 
wear.

Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may 

indicate worn or misaligned suspension or 
steering, unbalanced tire, or other tire/suspension 
problem.

Alignment can be affected by worn steering/

suspension parts or by incidents which happen 
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole, or 
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause 
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may 
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left. 
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s 
suspension and steering components periodically 
for misalignment or wear.

Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and 

can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear, 
such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to 
be balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride 
comfort decreases noticeably.

Further Information

See the chassis manual in your InfoCase for 

further information.

MOUNTAIN DRIVING

Special techniques must be used when driving 

in mountainous or hilly country.

Climbing A Hill

The transmission will automatically 

downshift as needed to climb most hills. If the 
hill is long or very steep, however, you may need 
to manually shift to a lower gear to keep the 
transmission from repeatedly upshifting and 

NOTICE

When refilling the coolant system of a 
vehicle equipped with a rear auxiliary 
automotive heater and motoraid water 
heater, be sure to allow for additional 
coolant capacity of the heater and its 
supply and return hoses.

  WARNING

Make sure all replacement tires are of the 
same size and rating as those shown on 
your Vehicle Certification Label.
