Child Safety Restraint Systems
When transporting infants or small children, an appropriate child safety restraint system should always be used.
NOTE:
All child safety restraint systems should always face the front or rear of the motor home. They should never be installed so the occupant is facing the side of the motor home.
NOTE:
Children too large for a child safety seat (per government specifications) should always wear a seat belt.

Danger
- Never allow a passenger to hold a child on their lap while the motor home is moving. The use of safety seats for children are required when trans-porting a child in your motor home. All child age and weight guidelines as specified by law should be strictly adhered to.
- Rear facing child seats or infant carriers, or child booster seats should never be placed in the front seats of the motor home.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
Warning
- Improper installation or failure to properly secure a child restraint may result in failure of the restraint.
- Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint. Be aware of all warnings and safety information included with any infant or child safety restraint system.
- Never place a front or rear facing child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle. A deploying passenger front air bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or younger, including a child in a child restraint. A child restraint should only be installed in a rear seat.
- To ensure proper safety belt fit, always use booster seats for children who are size and age appropriate. Refer to the governmental safety regulations for child sizing charts.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
Booth Dinette (if equipped)
Warning
The dinette table should be lowered and secured with the safety strap when-ever adding a child safety seat to the dinette seat.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or death.
If your child requires a child safety restraint system (seat), it can be installed in the forward or rear facing booth dinette according to the instructions of the safety seat manufacturer. The seat must be secured with the dinette seat tether strap.
Installing the Child Safety Seat
NOTE: Be sure to read, understand and apply all child seat information provided by the seat manufacturer. Make sure the tether strap is securely and correctly attached to the child safety seat.
Locate the child seat tether anchors (brackets). The anchors will be marked with a child seat symbol. Attach the snap on the strap of the child restraint seat to the corresponding anchor. Adjust the strap so the seat is securely in place. The seat must have both lower straps securely in place. Repeat the process on the upper straps of the child seat.
Vehicle Dash
Warning
Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the instrument panel or dash. Do not attach anything to the steering wheel cover. Failure to follow these warnings may restrict the driver’s visibility or cause an object to strike and injure an occupant in the case of a collision or sudden stop.
Maintenance
To clean the vinyl/ABS dash, soak a soft cloth in a solution of mild detergent and water. Wipe off the dash. To rinse, dip a cloth in fresh water and wring it out well. Wipe off the detergent thoroughly.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
Caution
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors before driving.
After adjusting the front driver’s seat, adjust the outside rearview mirrors to your driving preference. Have someone help you adjust the mirrors in the desired direction for maximum rear visibility before driving. During travel, vibration may loosen the fitting holding the mirror(s), causing them to change position. As part of your regular motor home maintenance, check and adjust the mirrors to the desired position.
Power Remote Mirrors (if so equipped)
You can adjust the power remote mirrors when the ignition key is in the ON position.
- Move the control knob to the side you want to adjust.
- Press the control arrows in the direction you want the mirror to move.
- Return the control knob to the center to lock the mirror(s) into place.
The power remote mirrors also contain heating elements to defog or de-ice the mirrored glass if needed. To activate this feature, use the “Mirror Heat” control located on the driver’s side console next to the mirror control joystick.
NOTE:
Depending on models, the mirror control joystick and the Mirror Defrost toggle switch may be separated from each other. The Mirror Defrost switch may be renamed Mirror Heat.
