LIVING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in
the driver’s compartment. A detailed operating
and maintenance guide is included in your
Owner’s Information Package. Read all
instructions for this system carefully before
operating the system .
POWER ENTRY STEP
(If Equipped)
The power entry step is controlled by a
magnetic entry door position switch, the engine
ignition switch and by an override switch
located near the entry door. Power for the
entry step is supplied by the chassis battery (or
batteries). The battery system must be connected
(battery dis-connect in the “ON” position) for
the entry step to operate.
The entry step will typically extend and retract
with the opening and closing of the entry door
as controlled by the entry door position switch
(function is automatic). Activating the override
switch will move the entry step to the extended
position, and it will stay there regardless of
whether the door is open or closed. Regardless
of the override switch position, activation of
the ignition key with the entry door closed will
retract the entry step. This helps to prevent
inadvertently driving off with the entry step
extended. The switches operate the entry step
according to the following table.
Refer to the power step Owner’s Manual in your
Owner’s Information Package for details on
maintenance and lubrication .

ELECTRIC STEPWELL COVER
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with
a electrically operated stepwell cover. The
stepwell cover closes off the stepwell area when
you are traveling. When the cover is extended, it
provides a floor surface.
Stepwell Cover Operation
1. The stepwell cover control is located on the
passenger side of the overhead.
2. To extend the cover, move the control
switch forward.
3. To retract the cover, move the control
switch rearward.
4. The stepwell cover cannot be pushed in
manually to retract. To retract the cover
manually:
a. The clevis on the bottom of the stepwell
cover must be disconnected to manually
retract the cover. This process is slightly
difficult and is best performed by an
authorized American Coach dealer.
