Instrument Panel
1. TURBO BOOST: Indicates boost
pressure produced by engine
turbocharger.
2. COOLANT TEMP: Indicates an
approximate normal operating range.
Monitor this gauge frequently when
climbing hills, towing or in high
ambient temperatures. If the needle
indicates an out of range condition
take IMMEDIATE ACTION to avoid
engine damage. Refer to the OEM
instructions for specic temperature
recommendations. Coolant temperature
can also be monitored with the
(optional) Aladdin system.
3. TACHOMETER: Displays engine
speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
4. OIL PRESSURE: Indicates oil
pressure not the amount of oil in
the engine. Refer to manufacturer’s
instructions for specic pressure
recommendations.
WARNING
If oil pressure drops and the WARNING
lamp illuminates, stop the engine and
check oil level.
5. SPEEDOMETER: Indicates the speed
of the motorhome. The gauge indicates
MPH and KPH.
6. ODOMETER/TRIP METER:
Records the mileage driven as well as
total mileage on a trip.
7. MILEAGE/TRIP RESET BUTTON:
Used to toggle between the odometer,
Trip 1, Trip 2 and the transmission
temperature. Holding the button down
for two seconds resets the trip meter.
8. FUEL: Fuel gauge registers
approximate fuel tank level when
ignition switch is in the run position.
NOTE
Fuel mileage varies with driving style
and road conditions. Always average
more than one tankful to obtain a more
accurate figure. The diesel Generator
uses fuel from main tank and will affect
fuel mileage figures. Diesel generators
will not operate below ¼ tank to ensure
there is enough fuel to run main engine.
9. VOLTMETER: Shows the charge
condition in the chassis battery. The
normal voltage with the ignition
switch ON and the engine OFF varies
between 12.0 and 13 Volts. Battery
charging voltage is about 14.0 Volts
when the engine is operating under
a normal load. Battery readings of
less than 10.5, or more than 15 Volts,
usually indicate a battery or electrical
system problem.
