This PREVOST XLII Owner's Manual equipped
with the new US07 engine has been prepared to
thoroughly acquaint you, the owner, with
vehicle’s equipment and features in order to fully
appreciate and safely enjoy your vehicle. Of
course, you are anxious to drive your new
private motorcoach and test its features, but first
please read this publication carefully to help
ensure enjoyable and trouble free operation.
This book should be kept inside the vehicle at all
times for convenient reference. It is also
suggested that it remain with the vehicle at the
time of resale. Please notify PREVOST CAR
INC. when the vehicle's ownership is transferred
so that our records can be kept up to date. Do
this by filling out the appropriate form at the end
of this manual.
The specifications, descriptions and figures
given are based on the latest information
available at printing time. And because at
PREVOST we are constantly striving to improve
our products, we reserve the right to make
changes at any time without notice and/or
obligation on our part.
Please note that this publication applies to
factory-prepared, conversion-ready luxury
motorcoaches, manufactured by PREVOST
CAR INC. It describes and explains the
equipment and options available for installation
in our factory. Therefore, there may be
equipment described herein that is not installed
on your vehicle. This publication also does not
cover equipment installed by your interior
designer or system manufacturer.
This manual, or portions thereof, cannot be
reproduced in any form whatsoever, in whole or
in part, without the written consent of PREVOST
CAR INC.
The following words are used to emphasize
particularly important information:
DANGER
Directs the operator’s attention to unsafe
practices which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING
Directs the operator’s attention to unsafe
practices which could result in serious
personal injury or severe damage to the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Directs the operator’s attention to unsafe
practices where personal injury is not likely
but damage to vehicle components could
occur.
NOTE
Indicates supplementary information essential
to the proper operation of the vehicle.
For your own safety and to ensure prolonged
service life of your private motorcoach, heed our
warning labels: DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE. Ignoring them could result
in extensive damage and/or serious personal
injury.
Safety Precautions
2
To ensure safe and reliable operation, heed the
following safety precautions.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
o Operation and maintenance of the vehicle
must be performed only by qualified
personnel.
o Before driving, conduct a walk around
inspection and check that all baggage
compartment doors and equipment access
doors are securely shut.
o Make sure good visibility is maintained at all
times. Keep windshields clean and free of
obstructions.
o Adjust the driver's seat so that all controls
can be reached easily.
o Always wear the safety belt when driving.
o Check the instrument panel frequently. Do
not operate the vehicle when dials or
indicators are not in their normal operating
condition.
o Always pay attention to pedestrians passing
in front and behind the vehicle. Always yield
to pedestrians at pedestrian walkways.
o Do not drive over obstacles on the road.
Empty boxes, piles of leaves, and snowdrifts
could conceal hidden dangers that could
damage the vehicle suspension and
underbody.
o When turning or changing lanes, signal your
intention well in advance.
o When approaching to make a right turn,
reduce the space between the vehicle and
the curb to make sure another vehicle
cannot pass on the right. Since the vehicle
makes wide turns, allow enough space to
make safe turns.
o Switch from high beams to low beams when
meeting or following other vehicles within
500 feet (150 meters).
o Never leave the vehicle unattended with the
engine running or with the key in the ignition.
Turn off the engine, remove keys and apply
the parking brake before leaving the vehicle.
o Shut-off the engine before refueling, adding
oil, performing maintenance or servicing
tasks, unless stated otherwise.
o Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Do
not smoke when refueling. Keep away from
open flames or sparks.
o Do not run the engine or HVAC system with
access doors left open. Close compartment
doors before operating any equipment.
o Do not remove the surge tank filler cap or
the cooling system pressure cap when the
engine is hot. Let the engine cool down
before removing filler caps.
o Do not attempt to push or pull-start a vehicle
equipped with an automatic transmission.
o The service life of the vehicle depends on
the kind of maintenance it receives. Always
record any problems and report them
immediately to maintenance personnel.
o Do not use the trailer hitch before reading
the safety, technical and operational
requirements on page 16 of this manual.
DEFENSIVE DRIVING PRACTICES
o For city driving, allow a four to six second
travel interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Increase this travel interval
to six to eight seconds for highway driving.
Increase time interval for driving at night or
in foul weather.
o Be prepared to stop when approaching an
intersection. The stopping distance of the
vehicle increases with the weight and speed.
o Establish eye-to-eye contact with other
drivers and with pedestrians. Use, high
beam and low beam headlights, turn signals
and horn as needed.
o On highway, don't stare at the road ahead.
Keep your eyes moving. Check mirrors and
dashboard instruments frequently.
o To keep the vehicle from drifting across
lanes during highway driving, always look
over the horizon on the road ahead.
o Adjust your speed to road conditions, traffic
and visibility. Never exceed the posted
speed limits.
o If another vehicle is following close behind,
reduce your speed to let the vehicle pass.
For additional information about safe operation
and defensive driving practices, contact the local
department of motor vehicles authority.
Safety Precautions
3
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
Prior to working on a system inside the
vehicle, make sure to cut electrical power and
air supply. A component could be supplied
with electricity even if battery master switch is
set to the OFF position and/or a component
could be pressurized even if air tanks are
emptied. Always refer to the appropriate wiring
and pneumatic diagrams prior to working on
electrical and/or pneumatic systems.
CAUTION
Prior to welding or soldering on the vehicle,
disconnect all electronic modules, positive
and negative battery connections. If these
modules (MCM, CPC, TCM, ECU, ABS) are
not disconnected, electronic components
(EPROM, CHIPS) could be permanently
damaged.
Refer to Section 00 of your maintenance
manual for all related procedures.

By using this system, you can lock or unlock the
entrance door and the baggage and service
compartment doors. The keyboard is located
below the entrance door handle. The master
code in the microprocessor/relay module is pre-
programmed by the manufacturer and cannot be
deleted. Moreover, you can program your own
entry code (e.g. a birthday or part of a social
security number).
The master code is:
o Printed on the owner's wallet card;
o Printed on three decals, joined to the
owner's wallet card.
o Printed on decal affixed to the keyless
system microprocessor/relay module in the
front console;
When you use the keyless entry system, the
keyboard and step lights illuminate.
Do not push the buttons with a key, pencil or any
other hard or sharp object as the buttons could
be damaged. Although each button is provided
with two digits separated by a vertical line, there
is only one contact per button. Press in the
center of the button (between the two digits, on
the vertical line).
You must unlock the entrance door before you
unlock any other baggage or service
compartment door. If you let more than five
seconds pass between the numbers you press,
the system shuts down, and you have to enter
your code again. If the keyless entry system
does not work properly, use the key to lock or
unlock entrance or compartment doors.
Keyless Operating Instructions
1. To unlock the entrance door, enter the five
digits of the code. After pressing the fifth
digit, the door will unlock. During the night,
press any button to illuminate the keyboard,
and then enter the code.
2. When pressing any button, the keyboard
lights up for five seconds and the step lights
illuminate for twenty-five seconds.
3. To unlock the baggage and service
compartment doors, press button 3|4 within
five seconds of entering the code.
4. To lock entrance door and compartments all
at the same time, press buttons 7|8 and 9|0
at the same time.
Programming Your Personal Code
NOTE
To avoid erasing your personal code from the
system memory, you should connect the
keyless entry system to house batteries,
otherwise the code will be erased each time
battery main disconnect switches are set to
the OFF position.
You can program a personal code to unlock the
entrance door and compartments. This code
does not replace the permanent code that is
programmed into the system. Use your personal
code in the same manner that you would use the
original code.
Do not choose a code that presents the
numbers in sequential order, such as 1|2, 3|4,
5|6, 7|8, 9|0. Studies show that people who idly
press the buttons usually press a sequential
pattern. Also, do not select a code that uses the
same button five times. Thieves can easily figure
out these types of codes.
1. Choose and memorize your personal code.
2. Enter the original code, and within five
seconds, press button 1|2.
3. Within five seconds of pressing button 1|2,
enter your personal code, pressing each
button within five seconds of the previous
digit. The keyboard light will immediately
turn OFF if the code is correctly entered.

The keyless entry system registers your

code, press button 1|2, then wait six seconds.
Refer to “Controls and instruments” chapter, for
instructions on remote unlock key fob. Refer to
“Other Features” chapter, for full details on
keyless entry system.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
The vehicle is equipped with flat-type and
convex-type rear-view mirrors. Convex mirrors
give a wide angle view. Objects viewed in
convex-type rear-view mirrors appear smaller
and are actually closer than they appear.
To provide good visibility in cold weather, the
mirrors are equipped with heating elements. The
elements are activated by a rocker switch
located on the dashboard. Refer to "Controls &
Instruments" chapter. Thermostats are used to
prevent continuous operation of the heating
elements.
CAUTION
Do not attach stick-on type convex mirror
accessories to the heated mirror glass. This
could impede uniform heat distribution on the
mirror surface and could break the mirror
glass.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS 18376
The mirrors are adjusted using the controls
located on the L.H. control panel. Refer to
"Controls & Instruments" chapter. Manual
adjustment is also possible.
Adjust the side-view mirrors until the side of the
vehicle is visible. Adjust the flat-type mirror until
the road behind is in full view.
BACK-UP CAMERA
An optional back-up camera is available which
provides the driver with visual assistance when
backing-up. For additional information, refer to
"Controls & Instruments" and ‘Care and
maintenance’ chapters.
