REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION

We have built your vehicle to the highest

standards using quality parts. We

recommend that you demand the use of

genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

whenever your vehicle requires scheduled

maintenance or repair. You can clearly

identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts

by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or

Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and

Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure

that your vehicle provides years of service

is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that

conform to the specifications detailed in

this Owner s Manual. Genuine Ford and’

collision, but accidents do happen.

Genuine Ford replacement collision parts

meet our stringent requirements for fit,

finish, structural integrity, corrosion

protection and dent resistance. During

vehicle development we validate that

these parts deliver the intended level of

protection as a whole system. A great way

to know for sure you are getting this level

of protection is to use genuine Ford

replacement collision parts.

devices or entities, or altering the

performance of the vehicle, may cause

interference with or even damage to

vehicle systems. We do not recommend

or endorse the use of aftermarket plug-in

devices unless approved by Ford. The

vehicle Warranty will not cover damage

caused by an aftermarket plug-in device.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

Using mobile communications equipment

is becoming increasingly important in the

conduct of business and personal affairs.

However, you must not compromise your

own or others safety when using such’

equipment. Mobile communications can

enhance personal safety and security when

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Instrument Cluster

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle

should stay in the normal operating range

(between L and H). If the needle falls

below the normal range, stop the vehicle,

turn off the engine and check the engine

oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is

correct, have your vehicle checked by your

authorized dealer.

Speedometer

Indicates vehicle speed. Vehicle speed is

limited to either 65 mph (105 km/h) or 75

mph (120 km/h).

Transmission Fluid Temperature

Gauge

Normal area

The transmission fluid is within the normal

operating temperature (between H and

C).

Yellow area

The transmission fluid is higher than

normal operating temperature. This can

be caused by special operation conditions

(i.e. snowplowing, towing or off-road use).

Operating the transmission for extended

periods of time with the gauge in the

yellow area may cause internal

transmission damage. Altering the severity

of the driving conditions is recommended

to lower the transmission temperature into

the normal range.

Red area

The transmission fluid is overheating. Stop

the vehicle to allow the temperature to

return to normal range.

If the gauge is operating in the yellow or

red area, stop the vehicle and verify the

airflow is not restricted such as snow or

debris blocking airflow through the grill. If

the gauge continues to show high

temperatures, see your authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature

Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir

cap while the engine is running or hot.

At normal operating temperature, the

needle will remain in the center section.

Note: Do not restart the engine until the

cause of overheating has been resolved.

If the needle enters the red section, the

engine is overheating. Stop the engine,

switch the ignition off and determine the

cause once the engine has cooled down.

Fuel Gauge

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly

when your vehicle is moving or on a slope.

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge

indicates approximately how much fuel

you have left in the fuel tank. The arrow

adjacent to the fuel pump symbol

indicates on which side of your vehicle the

fuel filler door is located.

The needle should move toward F when

you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points

to E after adding fuel, have an authorized

dealer check the system soon.

After refueling, some variability in the

position of the needle is normal:

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Instrument Cluster

•It may take a short time for the needle

to reach F after leaving the gas station.

This is normal and depends upon the

slope of the pavement at the gas

station.

•The fuel amount dispensed into the

tank is a little less or more than the

gauge indicated. This is normal and

depends upon the slope of the

pavement at the gas station.

•If the gas station nozzle shuts off

before the tank is full, try a different

gas pump nozzle.

•There is a small reserve left in the tank

when the fuel gauge reaches empty.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel

gauge needle is at one-sixteenth or about

50 miles (80 km) to empty, whichever

occurs first.

Variations:

Note: The low fuel warning and distance-to-empty warning can appear at different fuel

gauge positions depending on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

WARNING LAMPS AND

INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and

indicators will alert you to a vehicle

condition that may become serious. Some

lamps will illuminate when you start your

vehicle to make sure they work. If any

lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,

refer to the respective system warning

lamp for further information.

Note: Some warning indicators appear in

the information display and function the

same as a warning lamp but do not display

when you start your vehicle.

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it illuminates when you are

driving, this indicates a

malfunction. You will continue

to have the normal braking system

(without ABS) unless the brake system

warning lamp is also illuminated. Have the

system checked by your authorized dealer.

Battery

If it illuminates while driving, it

indicates a malfunction. Switch

off all unnecessary electrical

equipment and have the system checked

by your authorized dealer immediately.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Instrument Cluster

Brake System

E144522

Illuminates when you engage the

parking brake with the ignition

on.

If it illuminates when you are driving, check

that the parking brake is not engaged. If

the parking brake is not engaged, this

indicates low brake fluid level or a brake

system malfunction. Have the system

checked immediately by your authorized

dealer.

WARNING

Driving your vehicle with the warning

lamp on is dangerous. A significant

decrease in braking performance

may occur. It will take you longer to stop

your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by

your authorized dealer immediately. Driving

extended distances with the parking brake

engaged can cause brake failure and the

risk of personal injury.

Brake Reserve System (If Equipped)

E146190

Illuminates to indicate normal

hydromax booster reserve

system activation when the

engine is off and the service brake pedal is

applied.

This light may also illuminate momentarily

if the engine is running and the driver turns

the steering wheel fully in one direction

while braking.

If the light remains on while the engine is

running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic

booster pressure or reserve pump system

failure. Stop the vehicle as soon as

possible and seek service immediately by

your authorized dealer.

Cruise Control (If Equipped)

E71340

Illuminates when you switch this

feature on. See Using Cruise

Control (page 38).

Direction Indicator

Illuminates when the left or right

direction indicator or the hazard

warning flasher is turned on. If

the indicators stay on or flash faster, check

Electronic Throttle Control

Illuminates when the engine has

defaulted to a limp-home

operation. See your authorized

dealer as soon as possible.

Fasten Safety Belt

It will illuminate and a chime will

sound to remind you to fasten

your safety belt.

High Beam

Illuminates when you switch the

high beam headlamps on. It will

flash when you use the

headlamp flasher.

Service Engine Soon

If the service engine soon

indicator light stays illuminated

after the engine is started, it

indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics

(OBD-II) system has detected a

malfunction of the vehicle emissions

control system. Refer to On-Board

Diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Fuel and

Refueling chapter for more information

about having your vehicle serviced. See

Emission Control System (page 30).

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Instrument Cluster

If the light is blinking, engine misfire is

occurring which could damage your

catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate

fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle

serviced immediately.

WARNING

Under engine misfire conditions,

excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic

converter, the fuel system, interior floor

coverings or other vehicle components,

possibly causing a fire. Have your vehicle

serviced immediately.

The service engine soon indicator light

illuminates when the ignition is first turned

on prior to engine start to check the bulb

and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready

for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.

Normally, the service engine soon light will

stay on until the engine is cranked, then

turn itself off if no malfunctions are

present. However, if after 15 seconds the

service engine soon light blinks eight times,

it means that the vehicle is not ready for

I/M testing. See Emission Control

System (page 30).

Transmission Tow/Haul (If Equipped)

E161509

Illuminates when the tow/haul

feature has been activated. If the

light flashes steadily, have the

system serviced immediately, damage to

the transmission could occur.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Extended idling at high engine

speeds can produce very high

temperatures in the engine and

exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or

other damage.

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle

on dry grass or other dry ground

cover. The emission system heats up

the engine compartment and exhaust

system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the engine in a closed

garage or in other enclosed areas.

Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always

open the garage door before you start the

engine.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by an authorized dealer

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if

you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle

may exhibit some unusual driving

characteristics for approximately 5 miles

(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This

is because the engine management system

must realign itself with the engine. You can

disregard any unusual driving

characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all

Canadian interference-causing equipment

standard requirements regulating the

impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing

the accelerator pedal before and during

operation. Only use the accelerator pedal

when you have difficulty starting the

engine.

IGNITION SWITCH

E161572

2. Turn the key to the off position.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Stopping the Engine When Your

Vehicle is Moving

WARNING

Switching off the engine when the

vehicle is still moving will result in a

loss of brake and steering assistance.

The steering will not lock, but higher effort

will be required. When the ignition is

switched off, some electrical circuits,

including air bags, warning lamps and

indicators may also be off. If the ignition

was turned off accidentally, you can shift

into neutral (N) and re-start the engine.

1. Put the transmission into neutral (N)

and use the brakes to bring your vehicle

to a safe stop.

2. When your vehicle has stopped, shift

into park (P) or neutral (N) and switch

the ignition off.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes

WARNING

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by your authorized dealer

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if

you smell exhaust fumes. Carbon

monoxide is present in exhaust fumes.

Take precautions to avoid its dangerous

effects.

Important Ventilating Information

If you stop your vehicle and then leave the

engine idling for long periods of time, we

recommend that you do one of the

following:

•Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).

•Set your climate control to outside air.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater

instructions could result in property

damage or serious personal injury.

Do not use your heater with

ungrounded electrical systems or

two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.

Do not fully close the hood, or allow

it to drop under its own weight when

using the engine block heater. This

could damage the power cable and may

cause an electrical short resulting in fire,

injury and property damage.

Note: The heater is most effective when

outdoor temperatures are below 0°F

(-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by

warming the engine coolant. This allows

the climate control system to respond

quickly. The equipment includes a heater

element (installed in the engine block) and

a wire harness. You can connect the

system to a grounded 120-volt AC

electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following

for a safe and correct operation:

•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord

that is product certified by

Underwriter s Laboratory (UL) or’

Canadian Standards Association

(CSA). This extension cord must be

suitable for use outdoors, in cold

temperatures, and be clearly marked

Suitable for Use with Outdoor

Appliances. Do not use an indoor

extension cord outdoors. This could

result in an electric shock or become a

fire hazard.

•Use as short an extension cord as

possible.

•Do not use multiple extension cords.

•Make sure that when in operation, the

extension cord plug and heater cord

plug connections are free and clear of

water. This could cause an electric

shock or fire.

•Make sure your vehicle is parked in a

clean area, clear of combustibles.

•Make sure the heater, heater cord and

extension cord are firmly connected.

•Check for heat anywhere in the

electrical hookup once the system has

been operating for approximately 30

minutes.

•Make sure the system is unplugged and

properly stowed before starting and

driving your vehicle. Make sure the

protective cover seals the prongs of the

block heater cord plug when not in use.

•Make sure the heater system is

checked for proper operation before

winter.

Using the Engine Block Heater

Make sure the receptacle terminals are

clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with

a dry cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours

of energy per hour of use. The system does

not have a thermostat. It achieves

maximum temperature after

approximately three hours of operation.

Using the heater longer than three hours

does not improve system performance and

unnecessarily uses electricity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The

pressure in an overfilled tank may

cause leakage and lead to fuel spray

and fire.

The fuel system may be under

pressure. If you hear a hissing sound

near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel

until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may

spray out, which could cause serious

personal injury.

Fuels can cause serious injury or

death if misused or mishandled.

Flow of fuel through a fuel pump

nozzle can produce static electricity.

This can cause a fire if you are filling

an ungrounded fuel container.

Fuel may contain benzene, which is

a cancer-causing agent.

When refueling always shut the

engine off and never allow sparks or

open flames near the fuel tank filler

valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone

while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely

hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid

inhaling excess fumes.

Observe the following guidelines when

handling automotive fuel:

•Extinguish all smoking materials and

any open flames before refueling your

vehicle.

•Always turn off the vehicle before

refueling.

•Automotive fuels can be harmful or

fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as

gasoline is highly toxic and if

swallowed can cause death or

permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,

call a physician immediately, even if no

symptoms are immediately apparent.

The toxic effects of fuel may not be

visible for hours.

•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too

much fuel vapor of any kind can lead

to eye and respiratory tract irritation.

In severe cases, excessive or prolonged

breathing of fuel vapor can cause

serious illness and permanent injury.

•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If

fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove

contact lenses (if worn), flush with

water for 15 minutes and seek medical

attention. Failure to seek proper

medical attention could lead to

permanent injury.

•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed

through the skin. If fuel is splashed on

the skin, clothing or both, promptly

remove contaminated clothing and

wash skin thoroughly with soap and

water. Repeated or prolonged skin

contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes

skin irritation.

•Be particularly careful if you are taking

Antabuse or other forms of Disulfiram

for the treatment of alcoholism.

Breathing gasoline vapors could cause

an adverse reaction, serious personal

injury or sickness. If fuel is splashed on

the skin, wash the affected areas

immediately with plenty of soap and

water. Consult a physician immediately

if you experience any adverse reactions.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

FUEL QUALITY

Choosing the Right Fuel

E161513

We recommend regular unleaded gasoline

with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane

rating of 87. Some fuel stations offer fuels

posted as regular unleaded gasoline with

an octane rating below 87, particularly in

high altitude areas. We do not recommend

fuels with an octane rating below 87.

Do not use any fuel other than those

recommended because they could lead to

engine damage that may not be covered

by the vehicle Warranty.

Note: Use of any fuel other than those

recommended can impair the emission

control system and cause a loss of vehicle

performance.

Do not use:

•Diesel fuel.

•Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol

or E85 fuel.

•Fuels containing methanol.

•Fuels containing metallic-based

additives, including manganese-based

compounds.

•Fuels containing the octane booster

additive, methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

•Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is

prohibited by law).

The use of fuels with metallic compounds

such as methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known

as MMT), which is a manganese-based

fuel additive, will impair engine

performance and affect the emission

control system.

Do not be concerned if the engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the

engine knocks heavily while using fuel with

the recommended octane rating, contact

an authorized dealer to prevent any engine

damage.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel because this

situation may have an adverse effect on

powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

•You may need to cycle the ignition from

off to on several times after refueling

to allow the fuel system to pump the

fuel from the tank to the engine. On

restarting, cranking time will take a few

seconds longer than normal. With

keyless ignition, just start the engine.

Crank time will be longer than usual.

•Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of

fuel is enough to restart the engine. If

the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep

grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)

may be required.

•The service engine soon indicator may

come on. For more information on the

service engine soon indicator, See

Warning Lamps and Indicators

(page 16).

REFUELING

WARNINGS

Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel

fire can cause severe injuries.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

WARNINGS

Read and follow all the instructions

on the pump island.

Turn off your engine when you are

refueling.

Do not smoke if you are near fuel or

refueling your vehicle.

Keep sparks, flames and smoking

materials away from fuel.

Stay outside your vehicle and do not

leave the fuel pump unattended

when refueling your vehicle. This is

against the law in some places.

Keep children away from the fuel

pump; never let children pump fuel.

Do not use personal electronic

devices while refueling.

Wait at least 10 seconds before

removing the fuel pump nozzle to

allow any residual fuel to drain into

the fuel tank.

Stop refueling after the fuel pump

nozzle automatically shuts off for the

second time. Failure to follow this

will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank

and could lead to fuel overflowing.

Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle

from its fully inserted position when

refueling.

Use the following guidelines to avoid

electrostatic charge build-up when filling

an ungrounded fuel container:

•Place approved fuel container on the

ground.

•Do not fill a fuel container while it is in

the vehicle (including the cargo area).

•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact

with the fuel container while filling.

•Do not use a device that would hold

the fuel pump handle in the fill position.

Fuel Filler Cap

WARNINGS

The fuel system may be under

pressure. If you hear a hissing sound

near the fuel filler door, do not refuel

until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may

spray out, which could cause serious

personal injury.

If you do not use the proper fuel filler

cap, excessive pressure or vacuum

in the fuel tank may damage the fuel

system or cause the fuel cap to disengage

in a collision, which may result in possible

personal injury.

Note: If you must replace the fuel filler cap,

replace it with a fuel filler cap that is

designed for your vehicle. The customer

warranty may be void for any damage to the

fuel tank or fuel system if the correct

genuine Ford, Motorcraft or other certified

fuel filler cap is not used.

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed

design with a 1/4th turn on and off feature.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Put your vehicle in park (P).

2. Switch the engine off.

3. Carefully turn the filler cap

counterclockwise until it spins off.

4. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel

filler pipe.

5. To install the cap, align the tabs on the

cap with the notches on the filler pipe.

6. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a

turn clockwise until it clicks at least

once.

If the Check Fuel Cap light or a Check Fuel

Cap message appears in the instrument

cluster and stays on after you start the

engine, you may not have installed the fuel

filler properly.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

If the fuel cap light remains on, at the next

opportunity, safely pull off of the road,

remove the fuel filler cap, align the cap

properly and reinstall it. The check fuel cap

light or Check fuel cap message may not

reset immediately. It may take several

driving cycles for the indicators to turn off.

A driving cycle consists of an engine

start-up (after four or more hours with the

engine off) followed by normal city and

highway driving.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Empty reserve is the amount of fuel

remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge

indicates empty. The amount of usable

fuel in the empty reserve varies and should

not be relied upon to increase driving range.

•The usable capacity of the fuel tank is

the amount of fuel that you can add to

the fuel tank when the fuel gauge

indicates empty, before the first fuel

filler nozzle automatic shutoff event.

•The advertised capacity is equal to the

volumetric difference between actual

fuel fill before the first fuel filler nozzle

automatic shutoff event and the fuel

quantity when the fuel gauge indicates

empty. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 125). It is the

usable capacity minus the empty

reserve.

•Due to the empty reserve, you may be

able to add more fuel than the

advertised capacity of the fuel tank

when the fuel gauge indicates empty.

Filling the Fuel Tank

For consistent results when refueling:

•Turn the ignition off before fueling; an

inaccurate reading results if the engine

is left running.

•Use the same fill rate

(low-medium-high) each time the tank

is filled.

•Allow no more than one automatic

shut-off when refueling.

Results are most accurate when the filling

method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the

first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is

your engine’s break-in period). A more

accurate measurement is obtained after

2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi

(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency

of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not

accurate ways to measure fuel economy.

1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record

the initial odometer reading.

2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record

the amount of fuel added.

3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel

tank and record the current odometer

reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading

from the current odometer reading.

To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100

kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the

liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers

traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per

gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles

traveled by gallons used.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Keep a record for at least one month and

record the type of driving (city or highway).

This provides an accurate estimate of your

vehicle’s fuel economy under current

driving conditions. Keeping records during

summer and winter will show how

temperature impacts fuel economy.

Conditions

•Heavily loading your vehicle reduces

fuel economy.

•Carrying unnecessary weight in your

vehicle may reduce fuel economy.

•Adding certain accessories to your

vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars

or light bars, running boards and ski

racks may reduce fuel economy.

•Using fuel blended with alcohol may

lower fuel economy.

•Fuel economy may decrease with lower

temperatures.

•Fuel economy may decrease when

driving short distances.

•You will get better fuel economy when

driving on flat terrain than when driving

on hilly terrain.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

WARNINGS

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle

on dry grass or other dry ground

cover. The emission system heats up

the engine compartment and exhaust

system, creating the risk of fire.

Exhaust leaks may result in entry of

harmful and potentially lethal fumes

into the passenger compartment. If

you smell exhaust fumes inside your

vehicle, have your vehicle inspected

immediately. Do not drive if you smell

exhaust fumes.

Your vehicle has various emission control

components and a catalytic converter that

enables it to comply with applicable

exhaust emission standards.

To make sure that the catalytic converter

and other emission control components

continue to work properly:

•Use only the specified fuel listed.

•Avoid running out of fuel.

•Do not turn off the ignition while your

vehicle is moving, especially at high

speeds.

•Have the items listed in scheduled

maintenance information performed

according to the specified schedule.

The scheduled maintenance items listed

in scheduled maintenance information are

essential to the life and performance of

your vehicle and to its emissions system.

If you use anything other than Ford,

Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for

maintenance replacements or for service

of components affecting emission control,

such non-Ford parts should be equivalent

to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in

performance and durability.

Illumination of the service engine soon

indicator, charging system warning light or

the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,

strange odors, smoke or loss of engine

power could indicate that the emission

control system is not working properly.

An improperly operating or damaged

exhaust system may allow exhaust to

enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or

improperly operating exhaust system

inspected and repaired immediately.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to

your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle

owners and anyone who manufactures,

repairs, services, sells, leases, trades

vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles

are not permitted to intentionally remove

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

an emission control device or prevent it

from working. Information about your

vehicle s emission system is on the Vehicle’

Emission Control Information Decal

located on or near the engine. This decal

also lists engine displacement.

Please consult your warranty information

for complete details.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)

Your vehicle has a computer known as the

on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that

monitors the engine’s emission control

system. The system protects the

environment by making sure that your

vehicle continues to meet government

emission standards. The OBD-II system

also assists a service technician in properly

servicing your vehicle.

When the service engine soon

indicator illuminates, the OBD-II

system has detected a

malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may

cause the service engine soon indicator to

illuminate. Examples are:

1. Your vehicle has run out of fuel the—

engine may misfire or run poorly.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the

fuel the engine may misfire or run—

poorly.

3. The fuel fill inlet may not have closed

properly. See Refueling (page 27).

4. Driving through deep water—the

electrical system may be wet.

You can correct these temporary

malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with

good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel

fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry

out. After three driving cycles without these

or any other temporary malfunctions

present, the service engine soon indicator

should stay off the next time you start the

engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold

engine startup followed by mixed city and

highway driving. No additional vehicle

service is required.

If the service engine soon indicator remains

on, have your vehicle serviced at the first

available opportunity. Although some

malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may

not have symptoms that are apparent,

continued driving with the service engine

soon indicator on can result in increased

emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced

engine and transmission smoothness and

lead to more costly repairs.

Readiness for Inspection and

Maintenance (I/M) Testing

Some state and provincial and local

governments may have

Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs

to inspect the emission control equipment

on your vehicle. Failure to pass this

inspection could prevent you from getting

a vehicle registration.

If the service engine soon

indicator is on or the bulb does

not work, your vehicle may need

service. See On-Board Diagnostics.

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if

the service engine soon indicator is on or

not working properly (bulb is burned out),

or if the OBD-II system has determined

that some of the emission control systems

have not been properly checked. In this

case, the vehicle is not ready for I/M

testing.

If the vehicle s engine or transmission has’

just been serviced, or the battery has

recently run down or been replaced, the

OBD-II system may indicate that the

vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To

determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M

testing, turn the ignition key to the on

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

position for 15 seconds without cranking

the engine. If the service engine soon

indicator blinks eight times, it means that

the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if

the service engine soon indicator stays on

solid, it means that your vehicle is ready

for I/M testing.

The OBD-II system checks the emission

control system during normal driving. A

complete check may take several days.

If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,

you can perform the following driving cycle

consisting of mixed city and highway

driving:

1. 15 minutes of steady driving on an

expressway or highway followed by 20

minutes of stop-and-go driving with at

least four 30-second idle periods.

2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least

eight hours with the ignition off. Then,

start the vehicle and complete the

above driving cycle. The vehicle must

warm up to its normal operating

temperature. Once started, do not turn

off the vehicle until the above driving

cycle is complete.

If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M

testing, you need to repeat the above

driving cycle.

To activate tow/haul, press the

button on the gearshift lever

once. The TOW HAUL indicator

light will illuminate in the instrument

cluster.

To deactivate the tow/haul feature and

return to normal driving mode, press the

button on the gearshift lever again. The

TOW HAUL light will deactivate. Tow/haul

will also deactivate when your power down

your vehicle.

The tow/haul feature:

•Delays upshifts to reduce the frequency

of transmission shifting.

•Provides engine braking in all forward

gears, which will slow your vehicle and

assist you in controlling your vehicle

when descending a grade.

•Depending on driving conditions and

load conditions, may downshift the

transmission, slow your vehicle and

control your vehicle speed when

descending a hill, without pressing the

accelerator pedal. The amount of

downshift braking provided will vary

based upon the amount the brake

pedal is pressed.

The tow/haul feature improves

transmission operation when towing a

trailer or a heavy load. All transmission

gear ranges are available when using

tow/haul.

Automatic Transmission Adaptive

Learning

This feature may increase durability and

provide consistent shift feel over the life

of your vehicle. A new vehicle or

transmission may have firm shifts, soft

shifts or both. This operation is considered

normal and will not affect function or

durability of the transmission. Over time,

the adaptive learning process will fully

update transmission operation.

Forced Downshifts

•Allowed in drive (D) with the tow/haul

feature on or off.

•Press the accelerator pedal to the floor.

•Allows transmission to select an

appropriate gear.

Brake-Shift Interlock

WARNINGS

Do not drive your vehicle until you

verify that the brake lamps are

working.

If your brake lamps are not working

properly or if you have disconnected

the vehicle battery cables, the

vehicle brake lamps and hazard flashers

may not properly warn traffic of a vehicle

breakdown or approaching danger, which

can increase the risk of serious injury or

death. To minimize the risk of serious injury

or death, be aware of your surroundings,

use other hazard signaling devices if

available, and move the vehicle to a safe

location away from traffic as soon as

possible.

When doing this procedure, you will

be taking the vehicle out of park

which means the vehicle can roll

freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle

movement, always fully set the parking

brake prior to doing this procedure. Use

wheel chocks if appropriate.

If the parking brake is fully released,

but the brake warning lamp remains

illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized

dealer.

Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift

interlock feature that prevents moving the

gearshift lever from park (P) when the

ignition is in the on position and the brake

pedal is not pressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out

of park (P) position with the ignition in the

on position and the brake pedal pressed,

a malfunction may have occurred. It is

possible that a fuse has blown or your

vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating

properly. See Fuse Specification Chart

(page 65).

If the fuse is not blown and the brake

lamps are working properly, the following

procedure will allow you to move the

gearshift lever from park (P):

1. Apply the parking brake. Turn key to

the lock position, and then remove the

key.

2. Disconnect the negative (black)

battery cable from the battery.

3. Insert the key and turn to the off

position. Shift the transmission to

neutral (N).

4. Reconnect the negative (black) battery

cable to the battery.

5. Start the vehicle.

Note: See your authorized dealer as soon

as possible if this procedure is used.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud

or Snow

Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature or

damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more

than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the

engine may overheat.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,

you may rock it out by shifting between

forward and reverse gears, stopping

between shifts in a steady pattern. Press

lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If

a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or

continuous squeal sound is present, the

brake linings may be worn-out and should

be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the

vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder

in the steering wheel while braking, the

vehicle should be inspected by an

authorized dealer.

Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the

wheels, even under normal driving

conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the

brakes wear and does not contribute to

brake noise. See Cleaning the Alloy

Wheels (page 102).

E144522

See the Instrument Cluster

chapter for information on the

brake system warning light.

Wet brakes result in reduced braking

efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a

few times when driving from a car wash or

standing water to dry the brakes.

Brake Over Accelerator

In the event the accelerator pedal

becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady

and firm pressure to the brake pedal to

slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.

If you experience this condition, apply the

brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe

stop. Turn the engine off, shift the

transmission into park (P), apply the

parking brake, and then inspect the

accelerator pedal for any interferences. If

none are found and the condition persists,

have your vehicle towed to the nearest

authorized dealer.

Hydraulic brake booster system

(Hydroboost or Hydromax)

The Hydroboost and Hydromax systems

receive fluid pressure from the power

steering pump to provide power assist

during braking.

The Hydromax booster receives backup

pressure from the reserve system electric

pump whenever the fluid in the power

steering system is not flowing. When the

engine is off, the pump will turn on if the

brake pedal is applied, or if the ignition is

turned to the on position.

The sound of the pump operating may be

heard by the driver, but this is a normal

characteristic of the system.

The reserve system provides reduced

braking power, so the vehicle should be

operated under these conditions with

caution, and only to seek service repair and

remove the vehicle from the roadway.

Note: For Hydromax-equipped vehicles

operating under normal conditions, the noise

of the fluid flowing through the booster may

be heard whenever the brake is applied. This

condition is normal. Vehicle service is not

required.

If braking performance or pedal response

becomes very poor, even when the pedal

is strongly pressed, it may indicate the

presence of air in the hydraulic system or

leakage of fluid. Stop the vehicle safely as

soon as possible and seek service

immediately.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Note: When the system is operating, the

brake pedal may pulse and may travel

further. Maintain pressure on the brake

pedal. You may also hear a noise from the

system. This is normal.

Motorhome (TY3) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Brakes

The anti-lock braking system will not

eliminate the risks when:

•You drive too closely to the vehicle in

front of you.

•Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

•You take corners too fast.

•The road surface is poor.

PARKING BRAKE

WARNING

Always set the parking brake fully

and make sure the transmission

selector lever is placed in park (P).

Failure to set the parking brake and engage

park could result in vehicle roll-away,

property damage or bodily injury. Turn the

ignition to the lock position and remove

the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

Apply the parking brake whenever your

vehicle is parked.

•For vehicles equipped with a foot

operated parking brake, press the pedal

downward to set the parking brake.

•For vehicle equipped with a hand

operated parking brake, pull the

parking brake lever up to set the

parking brake.

E144522

The brake warning lamp in the

instrument cluster illuminates

when the ignition is turned on

and the parking brake is applied.

The parking brake is not recommended to

stop a moving vehicle. However, if the

normal brakes fail, the parking brake can

be used to stop your vehicle in an

emergency. Your vehicle's stopping

distance will increase greatly and the

handling of your vehicle will be adversely

affected.

To release the parking brake:

•For vehicles equipped with a foot

operated parking brake, pull the

parking brake release lever.

•For vehicles equipped with a hand

operated parking brake, push the

parking brake lever down.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set

speed without keeping your foot on the

accelerator pedal. You can use cruise

control when your vehicle speed is greater

than 20 mph (30 km/h).

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNINGS

Do not use cruise control on winding

roads, in heavy traffic or when the

road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious

injury or death.

When you are going downhill, your

vehicle speed may increase above

the set speed. The system will not

apply the brakes. Change down a gear to

assist the system in maintaining the set

speed. Failure to do so could result in loss

of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

LOAD LIMIT

Vehicle Loading - with and

without a Trailer

This section will guide you in the

proper loading of your vehicle,

trailer or both, to keep your loaded

vehicle weight within its design

rating capability, with or without

a trailer. Properly loading your

vehicle will provide maximum

return of vehicle design

performance. Before loading your

vehicle, familiarize yourself with

the following terms for

determining your vehicle’s weight

ratings, with or without a trailer,

from the vehicle’s Tire Label or

Safety Compliance Certification

Label:

Base Curb Weight - is the weight

of the vehicle including a full tank

of fuel and all standard

equipment. It does not include

passengers, cargo, or optional

equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight - is the

weight of your new vehicle when

you picked it up from your

authorized dealer plus any

aftermarket equipment.

E143817

CARGO

Cargo Weight - includes all

weight added to the Base Curb

Weight, including cargo and

optional equipment. When towing,

trailer tongue load or king pin

weight is also part of cargo weight.

GAW (Gross Axle Weight) - is

the total weight placed on each

axle (front and rear) including

vehicle curb weight and all

payload.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight

Rating) - is the maximum

allowable weight that can be

carried by a single axle (front or

rear). These numbers are shown

on the Safety Compliance

Certification Label. The label shall

be affixed to either the door hinge

Load Carrying

GCW (Gross Combined Weight)

- is the Gross Vehicle Weight plus

the weight of the fully loaded

trailer.

GCWR (Gross Combined

Weight Rating) - is the maximum

allowable weight of the vehicle

and the loaded trailer, including

all cargo and passengers, that the

vehicle can handle without risking

damage. (Important: The towing

vehicle s braking system is rated’

for operation at Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating, not at Gross

Combined Weight Rating.)

Separate functional brakes should

be used for safe control of towed

vehicles and for trailers where the

Gross Combined Weight of the

towing vehicle plus the trailer

exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating of the towing vehicle. The

Gross Combined Weight must

never exceed the Gross

Combined Weight Rating.

Maximum Loaded Trailer

Weight - is the highest possible

weight of a fully loaded trailer the

vehicle can tow. It assumes a

vehicle with mandatory options,

driver and front passenger weight

(150 pounds [68 kilograms]

each), no cargo weight (internal

or external) and a tongue load of

10–15% (conventional trailer).

Consult an authorized dealer (or

the RV and Trailer Towing Guide

available at an authorized dealer)

for more detailed information.

WARNINGS

Do not exceed the GVWR or

the GAWR specified on the

Safety Compliance Certification

Label.

Do not use replacement tires

with lower load carrying

capacities than the original tires

because they may lower the

vehicle s GVWR and GAWR’

limitations. Replacement tires

with a higher limit than the original

tires do not increase the GVWR

and GAWR limitations.

Exceeding any vehicle weight

rating limitation could result

in serious damage to the vehicle

and/or personal injury.

Steps for determining the

correct load limit:

1. Determine the combined weight

of the driver and passengers that

will be riding in your vehicle.

2. Subtract the combined weight

of the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lb.

3. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For

example, if the “ ”XXX amount

equals 1,400 lb. and there will be

five 150 lb. passengers in your

vehicle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =

650 lb.)
