WARNING
Be sure the latch that holds the upper
bunk in the folded position is working
properly so the bunk will not fall down.
If the bunk falls, you could be injured.
WARNING
Any loose items on the upper or lower
bunk should be moved to a secured
place before driving the vehicle. Fail-
ure to comply may result in death, per-
sonal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Be sure the restraint system is used
when anyone is occupying the sleeper
while the vehicle is moving. In an acci-
dent, an unrestrained person lying in a
sleeper bunk could be seriously in-
jured. He or she could be thrown from
the bunk. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
WARNING
Be sure no one ever rides in the upper
bunk. That person could be thrown out
in an accident and could be very seri-
ously injured. The upper bunk is not
equipped with a restraint system. Do
not use the upper bunk while you are
moving. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
The sleeper restraint is stored in a
compartment on the rear sleeper cab wall.
Sleeper Bunks and Restraints on page 32,
for more information on cab/seat restraint
systems.
WARNING
Failure to properly use the sleeper re-
straint when an individual is located in
the sleeper bunk and the vehicle is
moving can result in death or personal
injury.

Upper Bunk Ladder Considerations
If your vehicle is equipped with the upper
bunk ladder, ensure that you follow the
safety tips as detailed in How to Access
the Upper Bunk on page 15.
Stopping the Vehicle
A hot engine stores a great amount of
heat. It doesn’t cool down immediately
after you shut it off. Always cool your
engine down before shutting it off. You will
greatly increase its service life.
Idle the engine at 1000 rpm for five
minutes. Then low idle for thirty seconds
before shutdown. This will allow circulating
coolant and lubricating oil to carry away
heat from the cylinder head, valves,
pistons, cylinder liners, turbocharger, and
bearings. This way you can prevent
