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.
10. TRANS TEMP: Shows approximate
temperature of the transmission uid.
DO NOT let the transmission cooler
oil temperature exceed engine OEM
specications. If excess temperature is
indicated, stop the motorhome and shift
to neutral. Idle the engine at 1200 to 1500
RPM and allow temperature to return to
normal. Transmission temperature is also
indicated by the mileage/trip reset button.
NOTE:
Layouts may vary with difference in
models or options.
