Automatic Mode (Operates with
Door)
With the Power Switch in the On position the
step is in Automatic Mode. This means it will
extend and retract automatically whenever the
door is opened or closed. This is done by means
of a magnetic door switch attached to the lower
hinged edge of the screen door section of the
entrance doors. 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
extended 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 now stay extended whether the
door is opened or closed. This position is
normally used when parked at a campsite or
whenever people are going to be entering and
exiting the vehicle frequently.
Automatic Retraction Feature
The coach is equipped with a step retraction
feature that retracts the step automatically when
the entrance door is closed and 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 standard and
is installed to prevent injury or damage which
may be caused by an extended step when the
vehicle is moving.
“Last Out” Feature
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.
For additional information on the step, see the
step manufacturer’s operators manual included in
your Owner
InfoCase.
WARNING
Do not use steps unless it is fully
extended.
Do Not Stand on step when vehicles
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.
