LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver’s compartment. A detailed operating and
maintenance guide is included in your Owner’s
Information Package. Read all instructions for
this system carefully before operating the system .
POWER ENTRY STEP (
If Equipped)
The power entry step is controlled by a magnetic
entry door position switch, the engine ignition
switch and by an entry step switch located near
the entry door. Power for the entry step is sup-
plied by the chassis battery (or batteries). The
battery system must be connected (battery dis-
connect in the “ON” position) for the entry step
to operate.
The entry step will typically extend and retract
with the opening and closing of the entry door
as controlled by the entry door position switch
(function is automatic). Activating the entry step
switch will move the entry step to the extended
position, and it will stay there regardless of
whether the door is open or closed. Regardless
of the entry step switch position, activation of
the ignition key with the entry door closed will
retract the entry step. This helps to prevent inad-
vertently driving off with the entry step extend-
ed. The switches operate the entry step according
to the following table.
Refer to the power step Owner’s Manual in your
Owner’s Information Package for details on
maintenance and lubrication .

ENTRY AND SCREEN DOORS
The main entry door uses a latching system sim-
ilar to that used in automobiles. It has a second-
ary latch as well as a primary latch. When clos-
ing the door, be sure to close it firmly to engage
the primary latch. This will ensure that the door
is fully closed. When traveling, always lock
the deadbolt .
The screen door may be separated from the main
entry door by depressing the catch or releasing the
magnet. A holdback mechanism can be used to
secure the main door against the side of the motor
home.
