Electric Steps
The Phaeton is equipped with electric door steps (Figure 9-6). As such, the switch (Figure 9-7) to operate these
steps is located in the passenger console box. When
the power switch for the steps is in the “on” position,
simply open the door and the steps will automatically
extend. Detailed operation for the electrical, double-
entrance, door steps is as follows:
1.
Turn the step power switch “on.”
2.
Close the door. The step should retract and
lock into the UP position.
3.
Open the door. The step should extend and lock into the DOWN position.
4.
Turn the step power switch “off.” The step should remain in an extended position when the door is
closed. Turning “off” the power with the step retracted will hold the step in a retracted position, as
well.
5.
With the step extended, turn the step power switch “off” and close the entrance door. Turn the vehicle
ignition switch “on.” The ignition override system will go into effect and the step will automatically
retract.
Caution
If the motor home is driven with the step in the extended position, there is the
possibility of causing major damage to both the step and the motor home.
6.
With the step switch in the “on” position, turn the vehicle ignition switch “off” and open the door.
The step will extend and lock in the DOWN position.
Caution
If the door is opened and closed without allowing the step to extend fully and lock in
the “DOWN” position, the step will retract and lock in the “UP” position. When the door
is re-opened, the step will not extend. The power switch must be turned “on” for the
step to extend.
