Steering Column - Blue Bird D3RE 2014 Driver's Handbook Manual

Steering Column

The steering column of the new All American is designed for better access to the
driver's area with easier adjustment and a greater range of movement.
Steering Wheel Position
A lever at the lower side of the column sets the tilt and telescopic adjustment of the
steering wheel. This is a two position lever. Pull it out to the first position to adjust
tilt. Pull to the second position to adjust steering wheel height. Releasing the lever
clamps the column securely at the position selected..
Left Switch Stalk
The left stalk controls turn signals, high / low beam, intermittent windshield wipers
and washers, and also contains the hazard flasher control. Turn signals operate in the
normal way, move lever forward for right turn and rearward for left turn. Pull stalk up
for high beam and/or low beam. Turn knob on end of stalk for low, high, and inter-
mittent windshield wiper control. Press knob on end for wash cycle. Hazard flasher
is initiated by pulling the chrome lever at the base of the stalk. Cancel the flasher by
using a turn signal.
Right Switch Stalk
The right stalk contains the cruise controls.
Cruise Control
The Cruise Control is provided to improve fuel economy and lessen driver fatigue
during long periods of uniform speed travel. To operate the Cruise Control:
1. Attain the desired speed in the normal manner, with the foot-operated ac-
celerator.
2. Press the "On-Off" slider switch toward the left (On) to activate the system at
the current speed.
3. Press the button on the end of the stalk to incrementally adjust speed. To
make larger speed adjustments, release the cruise control by tapping the
brake, and then use the throttle to reach the desired speed. Then again press
the slider toward the left.
4. To momentarily deactivate the cruise feature, press the brake pedal. This will
disengage the cruise control and begin to apply brakes.
5. When you wish to again use the cruise control feature, press the slider switch
toward the left to Resume the previously set cruise speed.
If the ignition is switched off, or if the Cruise Control slider switch is pressed toward
the right (Off), the cruise control is deactivated.
