EXHAUST BRAKE:
Exhaust brakes are auxiliary braking devices for slowing down the motorhome.
For flat dry road conditions apply exhaust brakes until reduced speed is
reached. Exhaust brakes are effective for speed control in town and on local
routes. Use the exhaust brakes to slow down when you are preparing to exit
onto an off ramp, approaching traffic lights or approaching stopped or slow traf-
fic. Using exhaust brakes at low RPM may cause engine stalling. Exhaust
brakes are not a substitute for service brakes. Do not neglect service brake
maintenance.
AUX START:
In the event the motorhome chassis battery has been drained and cannot start
the engine, this switch momentarily "jumps" the auxiliary battery to the
motorhome domestic battery to assist in starting the engine.
HWY HORN:
Energizes the circuitry needed for the Air Horns. This should only be used on
the highway and open areas.
HEADLIGHT:
Pull one click to operate the parking lights. Pull two clicks to operate the head-
lights. Rotating the headlight switch clockwise will dim the dash lights.
Counterclockwise rotation will illuminate the map light in the overhead com-
partment.
