DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME

Class A
OVER-DRIVE SWITCH
Workhorse 20,700 GVWR chassis
and greater only
The Overdrive Switch allows you to
deactivate the automatic overdrive feature of the
transmission when necessary.
When this switch is ON, the transmission will
automatically shift to the overdrive gear
whenever possible for greatest fuel economy.
Some driving situations, however, may
require the transmission to be temporarily
disabled from shifting into overdrive gear, such
as when towing a car or trailer, driving in rolling
hill country or driving into a strong headwind
where the transmission will repeatedly shift up
and down causing annoyance and reduced fuel
economy.
DOME LIGHT SWITCH
Turn the ‘dome light’ map light on using the
Panel Dim thumbwheel. Roll it up to maximum
position until you feel it click into the maplight
‘on’ position.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides
additional safety when the vehicle must be
stopped on the side of the roadway and presents a
possible hazard to other motorists. When the
flasher is on, it serves as a warning to other
drivers.
The front directional signals and the taillights
will flash intermittently when the flashers are in
operation. The hazard warning flashers will not
operate when the service brake pedal is
depressed. The turn signal will not operate when
the flashers are on. When it is necessary to leave
the vehicle, the flasher system will continue to
operate with the ignition key removed.
BATTERY BOOST SWITCH
This switch can be used to provide emergency
starting power from the motor home auxiliary
battery if the automotive battery is discharged.
NOTE: The AUX BATT switch must be ON and
house batteries sufficiently charged for
this feature to work.
WARNING
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway is
illegal.
Aux. Start Switch
If engine battery is discharged, press and hold
while turning ignition key for emergency starting
power.
