AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER –
AUTOMOTIVE (DASH)
See the chassis manual for operating
information on driver and passenger comfort
controls – air conditioner, heater, defroster, and
ventilation.
NOTE: The dash air conditioner is not designed
to cool the entire interior of the coach,
but is intended only to provide cooling
for the cab area.
RADIO – IN-DASH
The radio in your coach is chassis-supplied.
Refer to the chassis manual for complete
features, programming, and operating
instructions.
BATTERY BOOST SWITCH
The Battery Boost switch can be used to draw
emergency starting power from the house
batteries to start the engine if the chassis battery
is discharged.
Press and Hold the Battery Boost switch in
while turning ignition key for emergency starting
power.
NOTE: The House/Coach Battery Disconnect
switch near the entrance door must be
ON and house batteries must be
sufficiently charged for this feature to
work.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check coolant
level visually at the see-through coolant
reservoir.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
Further Information
Refer to the chassis manual in your InfoCase
for information and precautions on filling,
servicing, and checking the fluid level.
LIGHTS
All exterior lights should be checked for
proper operation each time the vehicle is
prepared for a trip. Any bulbs which fail to light
should be checked and replaced, when necessary,
with a new bulb of the same size. A failure of
more than one light, such as both taillights not
operating, may indicate a burned out fuse. Check
fuse and replace with one of the same rating
