Comfort Drive™ Steering
This article provides information about Comfort Drive™, an intelligent steering system that adapts to
your inputs while actively working to eliminate friction, creating a self-straightening steering wheel
that lets you navigate twists and turns with more confidence and less e
ff
ort.
Features like Newmar’s Comfort Drive™ Steering allow easy maneuverability with just a light grip on
the wheel, taking the chore out of driving long distances.
Steering Systems
To use the Comfort Drive feature, simply steer the coach
like you would any other vehicle, and adjust the settings
to suit your preference for steering e
ff
ort. A lower setting
makes the coach easier to steer, whereas a higher setting
requires more e
ff
ort.
Operation
On coaches with an adjustment knob
located on the dash, turn the knob to
the desired setting.
Adjustment Knob
On select Spartan coaches, the Comfort Drive setting can
