CANADIAN TRAFFIC RULES AND ROAD SIGNS
TRAFFIC RULES
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Permitted blood alcohol levels are mandated by the provinces and territories. Please do not drive under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs!
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic lights are generally 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 red.
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 your
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 generally 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 required minimum number of people. The HOV lane symbol isa 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.

Page | 3
Our RV’s allowed on HOV lanes:
Van Conversion
Truck Camper
C-Small
Our 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. As a general rule, parking is only permitted in driving direction;
generally, parking is not permitted within 6 meters 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 generally marks a no-parking zone. If your vehicle uses more payable parking
spots, 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 is approach (from front or back), pull
over to the right and wait until the vehicle(s) has 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. The driver who got to a 4-way stop first, will drive off first.
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 your RV
return to avoid additional administrative charges. Fraserway RV will be billed directly by the
company responsible for collecting the toll fee.
Some crossing 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. Such 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 move again in both directions. failure to obey This traffic rule is a serious offence.
Only if the road is separated by a median, can the oncoming traffic slowly proceed without stopping.

CABIN
All vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The engine is a 7.3
litres V8 with 350 horsepower.
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. The
Battery Boost switch is located to the left of the steering wheel (see picture). 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 lever towards you, and then move
it up or down into the desired position. Keep your right 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 drive backwards. 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
The Tow/Haul function optimizes the shifting performance and reduces the potential
for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting when driving in
mountainous areas. This provides extra power when going uphill and braking assistance
from the engine when going downhill to reduce the risk of overheating the vehicle’s brakes.
Select this function by pressing the button at the end of the shift lever.

Page | 6
CRUISE CONTROL
The vehicle is equipped with cruise control. It will only engage at a speed of minimum 50 km/h. Don’t use the
cruise control in mountainous terrain. The increased shifting will lead to increased fuel consumption and could
result in transmission damage.
PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE/HAND BRAKE)
You can set the parking brake, which is at the bottom left in the foot area, by pushing the
pedal ①down with your foot. To release the parking brake, pull the release lever, which is
located above the pedal ②.
HEATED SIDE MIRRORS
Your motorhome is equipped with rear-view mirrors. The switch to turn on the mirror
heater ① is to the left of the driver's seat beside the mirror control ②. 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.
ELECTRONIC LEVELING SYSTEM
We recommend to use the electronic leveling system because of the size and weight of the slide-out. If the RV
is not parked in a completely level position, this might cause issues when extending or retracting the slide-
out. Please follow the steps outlined below carefully.
CAUTION:
The system is NOT suitable for adjusting an inclined position of the motorhome. The tires should
be carrying the weight of the motorhome at all times and never lose contact to the ground. The
extendable leveling jacks are not designed to carry the weight of the motorhome. Their only
purpose is to absorb slight movements within the motorhome.
The renter of the vehicle is liable for any damages resulting from improper use of the leveling
system. We assume no responsibility for any expenses and/or time loss due to improper
handling.
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.

CAUTION:
After you have started automatic leveling, it is very important that you no longer move around
in the motorhome until it is level and the green LCI logo in the centre of the control panel
illuminates. The leveling results may be affected if you move around in the motorhome while
leveling is in process.
Troubleshooting: Leveling Jacks
Problem
Cause/Solution
Leveling jacks cannot
be extended/retracted.
The breaker ②right at the motor has been tripped due to
power overload. Check the leveling system's motor in the front
left area under the hood ①. The small yellow switch is the
breaker of the motor. This breaker should be in a parallel
position to the motor. When the breaker is tripped, it is in a 45-
degree angle to the motor. If that is the case, press it back flat
against the motor, and check if the leveling jacks/automatic
step/rear view camera are/is now working.
