SECTION 2 SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
•Only seats equipped with seat belts are to be
occupied while the vehicle is moving.
•Make sure all passengers have seat belts
fastened in a low and snug position so the
force exerted by the belt in a collision will be
spread across the strong hip area. Pregnant
women should wear a lap-shoulder belt
whenever possible, with the lap belt portion
worn low and snug throughout the pregnancy.
•All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.
•Never let passengers stand or kneel on seats
while the vehicle is moving.
•Sleeping facilities are not to be utilized while
vehicle is moving.
•Examine the escape window and be familiar
with its operation.
•Ιnspect the fire extinguisher monthly for
proper charge and operating condition. This
should also be done before beginning a
vacation or any extended trip.
DRIVING
not been affected. Never operate any vehicle if
a difference in braking efficiency is
noticeable.
•Adverse weather conditions and extremes in
terrain may affect handling and/or
performance of your vehicle. Refer to your
chassis manual for related information.
FORMALDEHYDE
INFORMATION
WARNING
Some components in this vehicle contain
formaldehyde based adhesives which
may release formaldehyde fumes into the
air for an unknown period of time until total
dissipation occurs. Individuals who are
allergic to formaldehyde gas fumes may
experience irritation to eyes, ears, nose
and throat. Reaction in infants may be
more severe. Although long range effects
are not well understood, testing to date
has not revealed any serious health
effects in humans at the level of emission
from these products.
•Do not attempt to adjust the driver’s seat while
the vehicle is moving.
•Do not adjust tilt steering in a moving vehicle.
•Do not operate the cruise control on icy or
extremely wet roads, winding roads, in heavy
traffic, or in any other traffic situation where
a constant speed cannot be maintained.
•Use care when accelerating or decelerating on
a slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can
cause skidding and loss of control.
•Driving through water deep enough to wet the
brakes may affect stopping distance or cause
the vehicle to pull to one side. Check brake
operation in a safe area to be sure they have
5 - DASH / AUTO
LP GAS LEAK DETECTOR
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas leak
detector which sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of LP gas is present inside the coach.
Because LP gas is heavier than air, the detector is
located on a cabinet face near the floor of the
coach.
See the LP Gas Leak Detector manufacturer’s
information in your Owner InfoCase for
complete instructions.
2-1
SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
LP Gas Leak Detector
WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for gas
leaks. When testing for gas line leaks with
a soapy water solution, DO NOT use a
detergent containing ammonia or
chlorine. These substances may
generate a chemical reaction causing
corrosion to gas lines, resulting in
dangerous leak conditions.
CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING
WARNING
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases, as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust and ventilation
system. It is recommended that the exhaust
system and body be inspected by a qualified
motor home service center.
•Each time the vehicle is serviced for an oil
change.
•Whenever a change in the sound of the
exhaust system is noticed.
•Whenever the exhaust system, underbody or
rear of the vehicle is damaged.
Power Connection
The LP gas leak detector is powered by the
coach batteries. If the auxiliary battery switch is
shut off or the battery cable is disconnected from
the batteries, the alarm will not work. The LP gas
leak detector circuit breaker is located in the 12volt house circuit breaker panel.
Because the LP gas leak detector is connected
to the auxiliary battery, it is always drawing a
small amount of current. Even though this current
draw is slight, it could drain the coach battery
during storage periods when the house battery
will not be charged regularly by the engine or
shoreline. Turn the Aux. Batt switch OFF to
avoid current drain during storage periods.
Further Information
See the manufacturer’s information in your
Owner InfoCase for further instructions on
nuisance alarms and care and testing of the LP
gas leak detector.
To allow proper operation of the vehicle’s
ventilation system, keep front ventilation inlet
grill clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at
all times. DO NOT OCCUPY A PARKED
VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD.
Do not run engine in confined areas, such as a
garage, except to move vehicle into or out of
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Your coach is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) alarm located on the ceiling in
the bedroom area. The CO alarm is powered by a
9-volt battery and has a sensor that is designed to
detect toxic carbon monoxide gas fumes
resulting from incomplete combustion of fuel. It
will detect CO gas from any combustion source
such as the furnace, gas range/oven, water heater,
refrigerator, chassis engine, and electric
generator engine.

manufacturer, which is included in your Owner
InfoCase. It includes information on precautions,
operational testing, and battery replacement.
SMOKE ALARM
Your motor home is equipped with a smoke
alarm located on the ceiling in the galley area.

2 SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located
near the main entrance door.
We recommend that you become thoroughly
familiar with the operating instructions displayed
on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the
information supplied in your Owner InfoCase.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire
extinguisher for proper charge at least once a
month in accordance with National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
recommendations as stated on the label.
If the charge is insufficient, the fire
extinguisher must be replaced.
2-3
SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by
discharging it. Partial discharge can
cause leakage of pressure or contents
which would render the unit inoperative
when needed. When using the fire
extinguisher, aim the spray at the base of
the fire.
EMERGENCY EXITS
WARNING
Use care when exiting emergency
window, as broken glass may be present
in the exit area.
WARNING
This window should be kept closed while
driving to avoid drawing dangerous
exhaust gases into the vehicle.
Using Slider Windows As
Emergency Exits
Most slider windows along the side of the
motor home can also be used as emergency exits,
should the need arise.
To use a slider windows as an exit, first slide
the window open, then slide the screen open or
push the screen material out, depending on
window type.
Coaches that are required to have a slider
window as an alternate exit window will be
marked EXIT and have a red handled latch.
Escape Window
The bedroom escape window is secured by
two red safety latches at the bottom of the
window.
To open, lift both latches up and toward the
center of the window, then push outward near the
bottom of the window.
Lift latch handles upward to open.
Escape Window
Pull latch outward to slide window open
ROADSIDE EMERGENCY
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications
involved in tire changing, we strongly advise
obtaining professional road service to change a
flat tire whenever possible. However, if an
emergency requires you to change the tire
yourself, please exercise extreme caution and
read all tire changing information in the chassis
operating guide.
2-4
SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
Never get beneath a vehicle that is held up by
a jack only.
If You Get A Flat Tire
•DO NOT panic.
•Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer the
vehicle as straight as possible. Avoid quick
maneuvers. You may need to counter-steer to
compensate for “pull” created by the failed
tire.
•DO NOT stomp on the brake. This abruptly
shifts the vehicle’s weight forward, making it
nose-dive and pull toward the blown-out side.
•DO NOT jerk your foot off the accelerator.
Just ease back on the accelerator slowly and
gently to continue momentum. The deflated
tire will slow the vehicle.
•If you must change lanes to get to a safe
stopping place, use your signals to warn other
motorists and change lanes smoothly and
carefully after you are certain the lane is clear.
•Let the vehicle coast to a stop, gently steering
to a safe stopping place off the traffic lanes of
the road. Don’t worry about damaging the tire
or wheel rim by driving on it. A tire or wheel
replacement is cheaper than damaging the
vehicle or injuring yourself.
•When you have come to a stop, activate your
hazard flashers to warn other motorists, then
exit the vehicle carefully.
•Set out flares or other warning devices.
Check your tires for proper inflation before
each trip and at least once a month with an accurate tire gauge.
Recovery Towing
When calling a professional towing service,
we recommend that you advise them of your
coach length and approximate front axle weight
listed on your Vehicle Certification Label. This
will allow the towing operator to determine the
proper towing equipment to use.
We recommend that you ask for an underlift
(wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for
safe towing.
Winnebago Industries does not assume
responsibility for damage incurred while towing
this vehicle.
NOTE:Consult the chassis owner’s manual for
any additional towing instructions or
precautions provided by the chassis manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will result
to front end body parts.
WARNING
Stay out from beneath the motor home
while it is suspended by the towing
assembly unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety stands.
Do not allow passengers to occupy a
towed vehicle.
JUMP STARTING
If your coach will not start from the
automotive batteries, try using the Battery Boost
Switch to divert power from the coach batteries
to the starter. (See Battery Boost Switch in
Section 3). If you wish to try jump starting the
engine using another vehicle or booster system,
see your chassis owner’s manual for connecting
jumper cables to the automotive electrical
system.
WARNING
Do not attempt to push-start this vehicle.
Damage to the transmission or other
parts of the vehicle could occur.
2 SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS

SECTION 2
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
ENGINE OVERHEAT
If you see or hear steam escaping from the
engine compartment or have any other reason to
suspect an extreme engine overheating condition,
pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it
is safe to do so, stop the engine and get all
passengers out of the vehicle.
WARNING
Operating a vehicle under a severe
overheating condition can result in
damage to the vehicle and may result in
personal injury.
Ventilate with Outside Air
Partially open one or more windows and a
roof vent to circulate outside air through the
coach. In cold weather, this ventilation may
increase use of the furnace, but it will greatly
reduce the condensation inside the coach.
Minimize Moisture Released Inside
the Coach
Run the range hood fan while cooking, and
open a bath vent while bathing or showering to
carry water vapor out of the coach. Avoid making
steam from boiling water excessively or letting
hot water run. Avoid bringing extra moisture into
the coach by way of soaked clothing or snow on
shoes. Do not hang-dry wet overcoats or clothing
inside the coach.
For information on what to do in case of
overheating, consult your chassis operating
guide.
EFFECTS OF PROLONGED
OCCUPANCY
Your motor home was designed primarily for
recreational use and short term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy your coach for an extended
period, be prepared to deal with condensation and
humid conditions that may be encountered.
Humidity and Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of
windows is a visible indication that there is too
much humidity inside the coach. Excessive
moisture can cause water stains or mildew which
can damage interior items such as upholstery and
cabinets.
When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in your coach, you
should take immediate action to minimize their
affects.
You can help reduce excessive moisture
inside the motor home by taking the following
steps:

To Face Driver’s Seat Rearward:
Manual Seat
•Tilt the steering wheel all the way up and
extend the telescoping column all the way out.
•Put the left armrest down.
•Swivel the seat to the right until it just contacts
the steering wheel, then slide the seat forward
all the way.
•Lift the recliner lever and let the seat back tilt
forward to clear the steering wheel.
•Swivel the seat the rest of the way to face the
living area.
•Position the tilt wheel down and the column
all the way in to provide maximum clearance
to recline the seat.
•Reverse the procedure to face the seat
forward.
SEAT BELTS
Seats intended for occupancy while the
vehicle is in motion are equipped with seat belts
for the protection of the driver and passengers.
Power Seat
•Tilt the steering wheel all the way up and put
the left armrest down.
•Move the seat rearward fully and then forward
a few inches.
•Swivel the seat to the right until it just contacts
the steering wheel, then move the seat forward
all the way to clear the steering wheel.
•Swivel the seat the rest of the way to face the
living area.
•Collapse the steering column all the way and
position the tilt wheel down to provide
maximum clearance to recline the seat.
•Reverse the procedure to face the seat
forward.
Armrest Adjustment
The armrests may be swung upward out of the
way for easy exit or access to the front seats. A
roller on the underside of the front of the armrest
also lets you adjust the resting angle for personal
comfort, whether the seat is upright or reclined.
Lap Belts
The lap belts must be worn as low as possible
and fit snugly across the hip area. Always sit
erect and well back into the seat. To gain full
protection of the safety belt, never let more than
one person use the same safety belt at any one
time, and do not let the safety belts become
damaged by pinching them in the doors or in the
seat mechanism. After any serious accident, any
seat belts which were in use at the time should be
replaced.
Adjustment: To lengthen belt, turn tongue at a
right angle to belt and pull to desired length.
To shorten, pull loose end of belt.
To Fasten: Be sure belt is not twisted. Grasp
each part of the belt assembly and push

tongue into buckle. Adjust to a snug fit by
pulling the loose end away from the tongue.
To Release: Press button in center of buckle and
slide tongue out of buckle.
WARNING
Snug and low belt positions are essential.
This will ensure that the force exerted by
the lap belt in a collision is spread over the
strong hip area and not across the
abdomen, which could result in serious
injury.
Only seats equipped with seat belts are to
be occupied while vehicle is in motion.
Lap-Shoulder Belts
Fastening: Hold the belt just behind the
tongue using the hand nearest to the door. Next,
bring the belt across the body and insert the
tongue into the buckle until the latch engages.
Unfastening: Press the release button in the
buckle. Hold onto the tongue when you release it
from the buckle to keep it from retracting too
rapidly.
When the lap-shoulder belt is in use, the lap
belt must ride low across the hip area and the
shoulder belt must ride diagonally over the
shoulder toward the buckle.
The shoulder belt is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop, sudden body movement or
a collision. At all other times it will move freely
with the occupant.
WARNING
Never wear the shoulder belt in any
position other than as stated above.
Failure to do so could increase the
chance or extent of injury in a collision.
Seat Belt Care and Cleaning
•Be careful not to damage the belt webbing and
hardware. Take care not to pinch them in the
seat or doors.
•Inspect the belts and hardware periodically.
Check for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not
remove or modify the belt system.
•Keep belts clean and dry. If the belts need
cleaning, use only a mild soap and water
solution. Do not use hot water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, bleach or dyes. These
products may weaken the belts.
•Replace any belt assembly that was used
during a severe impact. Replace the complete
assembly even if damage is not apparent.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
A properly installed and secured child
restraint system can help reduce the chance or
severity of personal injury to a child in an
accident or during a sudden maneuver. Children
may be injured in an accident if they are seated in
a child restraint system which is not properly
secured.
A child restraint system is designed to be
secured in a vehicle seat by a lap belt or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. According to
accident statistics, children are also safer when
properly restrained in rear seating positions than
in front seating positions.
When purchasing a child restraint system:
1. Look for the label certifying that it meets all
applicable safety standards.
2. Make sure that it will attach to your vehicle
and restrain your child securely and
conveniently so that you are able to install it
correctly each time it is used.
3. Be certain that it is appropriate for the child's
height, weight and development. The
instructions and/or the regulation label
attached to the restraint typically provides this
information.

SECTION 3
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
MAP LIGHT SWITCH
Turn the map light on using the Panel Light
brightness thumbwheel control.
Roll it up towards “Cargo/Dome” until you
feel it click into the map light ‘on’ position.
How It Works
The exhaust brake generates “braking” power
by controlled restriction of the engine’s exhaust
gas flow.
When the exhaust brake is activated, a valve
closes off the engine’s exhaust causing the
exhaust back pressure to increase, which causes
the vehicle to slow down.
The increased back pressure would normally
stop the engine except the forward momentum of
the vehicle keeps the drivetrain and the engine
turning.
This controlled back pressure helps to regulate
a vehicle’s downhill speed, such as on
mountainous or hilly roads. It also provides
“braking” on level or near-level roads.
WARNING
See your chassis manual for further
information on this switch.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
The hazard warning flasher switch is located
