a variety of parameters can be adjusted to match your coach configu-

the value.  Press the

 a fi-

nal time to return to 

the “TIME” position.

Setting the 

date follows exactly 

the same process, 

as does setting the 

alarm clock.  To 

use the alarm clock 

you must set the alarm time and also set the “ALARM SET” value to 

“SET”.

The alarm clock will sound at the appropriate time, but obviously 

the VMS must be on at that moment.  If the VMS is turned off and 

on again, the alarm clock will remember its status and will sound at its 

appointed time.  The alarm will sound until any key is pressed on the 

VMS.  After sounding, the Alarm Set value will return to OFF.

Daytime/Nighttime Palette

This allows you to select the Color Scheme for your Daytime and 

Nighttime settings. The Daytime value indicates the Color Scheme 

when the headlights are off.  The Nighttime value indicates the Color 

Scheme with the headlights on.  By default the Nighttime is the same 

as the Daytime value, thus the VMS can be set to different Color 

Schemes when the headlights are turned on.

Daytime/Nighttime Brightness

This is the display luminance, on a scale from zero (0) to three 

(3).  If you drive with the light on during the day, you may want to 

adjust the Low value higher.  You may Cycle through all the Brightness 

Modes by pressing the 

b

righT

 button. These two settings corollate to 

the Palette settings.
