CANADIAN TRAFFIC RULES AND ROAD SIGNS
TRAFFIC RULES
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Permitted blood alcohol levels are mandated by the Provinces and Territories and will vary. Please do not drive
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs!
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic lights are suspended across the intersection. Left turn arrows indicate that you can safely turn
left while the oncoming traffic is still stopped at a red light.
After you have come to a complete stop and made sure the intersection is clear of all vehicles, cyclists and
pedestrians, you may turn right despite a red light in the U.S. and Canada except for the island of Montreal in
Québec. Exceptions are often limited to certain times and clearly posted as below.
Example on the left: Turning right is prohibited on a red light.
Example on the right: Turning right is prohibited from Monday to Friday, 7AM - 9AM and
4PM - 6PM (no matter whether there are traffic lights or not).
SEAT BELT
Canadian and U.S. laws require driver and all passengers to be seated with the seat belt fastened when the
vehicle is in motion.
SPEED LIMITS
The Speed limit in most urban areas is 50 km/h, and on highways either 80 or 100 km/h, unless otherwise
posted.
PEDESTRIANS
Canadian drivers are usually very polite and considerate. Pedestrians have the right of way.
DRIVER'S LICENSES
We require your national license for RV rentals. Foreign licenses are generally accepted in Canada. However,
we recommend carrying an international driver's license in addition, unless your original license is issued in
English or French.
GPS SYSTEMS AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Your RV's external dimensions and gross vehicle weight (GVW) are shown on a windshield sticker and in the
manual. GPS systems do not provide any information on height restrictions on your planned route. Always
check restriction signs for tunnels, overpasses, gas stations, roof constructions, ferries, etc.! Drive-thrus at fast
food outlets or entry ways to hotels/motels are too low for RV’s!
As a general rule: the minimum clearance must be 3.70 m or 12 ft. for all of our vehicles.
HOV Lane (High Occupancy Vehicle Lane)
HOV lanes are for vehicles with two or more people inside. These lanes may only be used by vehicles
that carry the minimum required number of people. The HOV lane symbol is a diamond,
which is indicated on many HOV signs and above all, on HOV lanes. Example of signs:
Left: HOV lane for buses and vehicles with at least 3 people starts here.
Right: From 5AM to 11PM, this lane is an HOV lane for buses and vehicles with at least 3
people only. During the time from 11PM to 5AM, this lane may also be used by vehicles with fewer people.

Fraserway RV’s allowed on HOV lanes:
Van Conversion
Truck Camper
C-Small
Fraserway RV’s NOT allowed on HOV lanes:
Adventurer 4, Overlander
C-Medium, C-Large, C-XLarge
A-Class
PARKING
Regulations vary from province to province. Parking is only permitted in the driving direction of the traffic lane.
Parking is not permitted within 6 meters on either side of:
-Pedestrian crossings
-Stop signs
-Traffic control signals
-Curves or corners
-Fire hydrants
-Entrance/Exit of hotels, theatres, public meeting places, schools, fire departments, playgrounds
CAUTION:
A yellow curb side marks a no-parking zone.
If your vehicle uses more than one parking spot, you have to pay for the number of spots used!
EMERGENCY VEHICLES
If a police car, fire truck, or ambulance with flashing lights and/or sirens approaches (from ahead or the rear),
pull over to the right and wait until the vehicles have passed.
If you are stopped by a police car, pull over to the right, remain seated, open the window and wait for the
officer to approach. Keep your hands visible on the steering wheel and follow the orders of the officer.
STOP SIGNS
You must always come to a complete stop at the stop line. The driver that arrived at a 4-
way stop first has the right-of-way. When two cars arrive at the same time, yield to the
car on your right-hand side. The same rule applies if traffic lights are not working.
Canadians are usually disciplined and courteous. Only one car at a time can cross the intersection.
TOLL BRIDGES
If you are aware that you have crossed a toll bridge on your journey, please inform us upon return of the RV to
avoid additional administrative charges. Fraserway RV will be billed directly by the company responsible for
collecting the toll fee. Some crossings will require direct payment on the spot. Please use the truck lane to
avoid any height restriction issues.
ACCIDENTS
Most accidents happen while parking the RV. This damage can be easily avoided if a passenger gets out of the
vehicle to help the driver manoeuvering by giving directions.
Never settle or admit any wrong-doing at the accident scene! If needed, call the Police. If possible, make notes,
take pictures, and exchange information with the other party.
Always call our OnRoad-Service and fill in the accident report, which you will find in the "Emergency" section of
the instruction manual. The police will not attend to minor accidents without personal injury.
SCHOOL BUSES Canadian school buses are yellow. They signal to stop all traffic (no passing!) using
flashing red lights and/or a swing-out stop sign. It is against the law to pass a stopped
school bus. All traffic must come to a halt to ensure children can get on and off the bus
safely. Once the signals have been turned off and/or the stop sign has been pulled, the
traffic can move again in both directions. Failure to obey this traffic rule is a serious

Page | 4
offence. Only if the road is separated by a median can the oncoming traffic slowly proceed without stopping.

Pedestrians are not allowed to cross the
street here.
Crossing the road is only permitted at
crosswalks.

On multi-lane highways: sign in combination
with exit signs means that a lane ends and
becomes the exit lane.
Control signal: Placed over lanes to indicate
which ones are open for driving. Here:
RED = do not drive in left lane.
YELLOW: move into one with a green arrow.
If flashing yellow over all lanes: slow down
and proceed with caution.
Green arrow: drive in this lane.

CABIN
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The engine is a 6.8
litre Triton V10 engine with 305 horse power.
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch has 5 different key positions:
POSITION A (ACCESSORY) allows you to use the vehicle's electrical system (radio etc.) without
the engine running or the ignition being turned on.
POSITION B (LOCK) turns off the engine and locks the steering wheel in place. The key can only
be removed in this position.
POSITION C (OFF) turns off the engine and the entire electrical system without locking the steering wheel.
POSITION D (ON): All circuits are active and the warning lights on the dash are on. This is the driving position.
POSITION E (START) starts the engine.
BATTERY BOOST SWITCH
The Battery Boost switch allow you to jump-start the vehicle should your engine battery be
empty. It’s located to the left of the steering wheel. Should the engine not start, press the Battery
Boost switch while turning the ignition key, and do not release the switch until the engine starts.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The gear stick is to the right of the steering wheel. To change gears, pull the shift lever towards you, and then
move it up or down to put into the desired position. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal to shift from P
(park) to R (reverse) or D (drive). The gears are as follows:
P
PARK
to start or turn off the engine. The key can only be pulled in this position.
R
REVERSE
to back up. The rear view camera is activated automatically.
N
NEUTRAL
position has to be used for towing only!
D
DRIVE
for all normal driving situations with the best fuel economy.
M
MANUAL
is the option to choose the gears manually. We DO NOT recommend to use this option!
2
2nd gear
to be used to start-up on slippery roads.
1
1st gear
allows maximum engine breaking and upshifts by moving gearshift. Does not downshift
into 1st gear at high speeds!
CAUTION:
We strongly recommend to use D for normal driving only! 1st or 2nd gear should be only used in
case of getting stuck.
TOW/HAUL (OVERDRIVE)
Use the Tow/Haul function in mountainous terrain. It will help to engage the engine break
when driving downhill and greatly reduce the risk of overheating the brakes. To engage the
Tow/Haul function push the button at the end of the shift lever.
CRUISE CONTROL
The vehicle is equipped with cruise control. It will only engage at a speed of minimum 50 km/h. Don’t use it in
mountainous terrain. The increased shifting will lead to increased fuel consumption and could result in
transmission damage.

Page | 6
PROGRAMMING
1. Turn cruise control on using the ON button.
2. Accelerate with SET + until you reached the desired speed. Release the button and
speed currently reached will be maintained. As well you can speed up using the
foot pedal. As soon as the desired speed is reached briefly press the SET + button.
3. You can reduce the speed by pressing SET -.
4. If you have to brake and then wish to resume the previous speed, press RES, and
the vehicle automatically accelerates until it reaches that speed.
5. Press CANCEL to pause the cruise control.
6. Press OFF button to turn off the cruise control.
PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE/HAND BRAKE)
HEATED SIDE MIRRORS
Your motorhome has heated side mirrors. The switch is located on the driver’s door (above the mirror control).
Leave the switch in the OFF position unless you need to defrost the mirrors. Leaving the switch in the ON
position will eventually drain your engine battery, as the heater will stay on even after the engine is shut off.
RADIO/BACK UP AND MIRROR CAMERA
Your RV is equipped with a Radio/Camera combination. The screen turns on
automatically when you change into reverse gear or operate the direction indicators.
Momentarily press ① to turn the radio on or off, otherwise the batteries may be
drained. The radio does not turn off automatically when the ignition key is removed!
①
VEHICLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GASOLINE This vehicle is powered by a gasoline (gas) engine, requiring regular unleaded gas
(Octane 87). Please fill up at “larger brand”gas stations. Lower quality gasoline,
supplied by independently owned gas stations can lead to engine problems.
ENGINE OIL
Please change the engine oil level and all other fluids regularly (approximately every 1,500 km when the engine
is cold). If needed use 5W30 oil. Please keep all receipts for potential refunds.

CAUTION:
The renter is liable for ANY damage resulting from miss-fuelling or using incorrect engine oil. If
you have any questions, please call our OnRoad-Service.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES
We change the engine oil every 12,000 km. There is a possibility that the oil change light in the dash will
illuminate. An oil change might not be needed. The last oil change is recorded on a sticker on your windshield.
Should an oil change be necessary, please call our OnRoad-Service to obtain information on authorized shops.
Please keep all receipts for potential refunds.
TIRES
TIRE PRESSURE - TIRE CHECK
Please check the tire pressure regularly when the tires are cold!
Tire pressure (cold): 75 PSI (front) –80 PSI (rear)*
*The recommended tire pressure is indicated on a sticker inside the driver-side door frame. Wheel nuts should
be checked every time you leave a campground.
CHANGING THE TIRES
Tires should preferably be changed by authorized personnel. In the event of a required tire change, please
contact our OnRoad-Service at 1-866-535-6601. If professional help cannot be optained, you have permission
to change your tire(s) at your own risk.
After a tire change, the wheel nuts of the changed tire(s) must be checked after 100 km or sooner and
retightened if necessary! Failing to do so, may cause tire damage and can result in serious accidents.
CAUTION:
We assume no responsibility for damages resulting from improper tire change or non-preformed
checks.
STORAGE LOCATION FOR TIRE CHANGE TOOLS
The jack and tools needed for the tire change can be found in one of the rear outside compartments of the
motorhome.
