SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
Automatic Mode (Operates with Door)
With the Power Switch on the On position the
step is in Automatic Mode. This means it will ex-
tend and retract automatically when the door is
opened or closed by means of a magnetic door
switch attached to the lower hinged edge of the
screen door. The steps will extend when the
screen door is opened, and retract when the
screen door is closed. With the power switch in
the Off position the step can be kept in the ex-
tended or retracted position as described below.
Stationary Extended Mode
To keep the step in the extended position:
•
turn the Power Switch to
On
,
•
open
the screen door to extend the step,
•
then turn the Power Switch to
Off
.
The step will not stay extended whether the
door is opened or closed. This position is normal-
ly used when parked at a campsite or whenever
people are going to be entering and exiting the
vehicle frequently
.
Stationary Retracted Mode
To keep the step in the retracted position:
•
turn the Power Switch to On,
•
close the screen door to retract the step,
•
then turn the Power Switch to Off.
The step will now stay retracted when the
screen door is open or closed. This position is
normally used where an exterior step is not re-
quired or to avoid damage to the step, such as
when parked near a high curb or similar object.
Automatic Retraction Feature
The coach is equipped with a step retraction
feature that retracts the step automatically when
the Ignition Switch key is turned to either the On
or Start position regardless of whether the Step
Power Switch is On or Off. This feature is stan-
dard and is installed to prevent injury or damage
which may be caused by an extended step whent
he vehicle is moving. An associated feature is the
“Last Out Feature”. This feature extends the step
when the screen door is opened after the ignition
switch has been turned to either the On or Start
position.
STEPWELL COVER
The stepwell cover can be extended to cover
the stepwell area and increase usable floor space
in the front of the coach while the entrance door
is not in use.
Press and release the Step Cover switch on the
passenger sidewall armrest. The step will extend
or retract fully. It is not necessary to hold the
switch down while the cover is extending or re-
tracting.
- Press once to extend.
- Press again to retract.
WARNING
Do not use steps unless it is fully
extended.
Do not stand on step when vehicle
ignition switch is turned to either the
“on” or “Start’ position. The step will
automatically retract, which may
cause personal injury. Always
remember to retract the step before
moving the vehicle.
For additional information on the
step, see the step operators manual
included in the Owner’s InfoCase.
CAUTION
Always remember to retract the
entrance steps before traveling or
moving the vehicle.
