Battery Boost Switch - Winnebago Itasca Ellipse Owner's Manual

SECTION 3 –
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
NOTE: Many states now have laws that require
headlights to be on during precipitation
conditions. To assure compliance with
this law, the headlights will come on
whenever you press any of the wiper
function buttons - Hi/Lo, Wash, or Delay.
Headlights will turn off when the ignition
switch is turned off.
Wiper On - Hi/Lo
• Press to turn wipers on at Lo speed;
• then press again to switch wiper speed back
and forth from Lo to Hi speed.
• Press Off button to switch wipers off.
Wiper Off
• Press to shut wipers off.
• Wipers will also switch off when the ignition
is turned off.
Wiper Delay
This switch will set a Lo speed wiper delay time
based on the duration between any two presses
of the button.
How it works:
• During a light rain or mist, when your
windshield needs a clearing wipe, press the
button once and the wiper will swipe back and
forth once at Lo speed. Let's say 7 seconds
later, the windshield needs another wipe -
press the button again and the delay time will
be set to 7 seconds.
• If the mist gets heavier and you press the
button again 3 seconds after the last wipe, the
delay time will be reset to 3 seconds.
• The delay time can be set from approximately
1 to 30 seconds.
Wash/Wipe
• Press switch to activate Lo wipers and spray
washer fluid onto the windshield for as long as
you hold the button.
• After you release the button, the wipers will
continue for three wipe cycles, then turn off.
3-16
• If wipers are already active, pressing the
switch will simply spray fluid onto the
windshield without affecting wiper setting.
Idle Speed Control
The cruise control system can also be used to
control diesel engine idle speed (rpm) while
parked.
High Idle
• Shift the transmission into Neutral (N).
• On the turn signal lever, move the slide switch
to the ON position or press the ON button on
the steering wheel. Accelerate to the desired
rpm. Press and release the SET/COAST or
SET/COAST button on the steering wheel.
• Disengage by stepping on the brake pedal, by
moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position, or by pressing the OFF button on the
steering wheel.
CAUTION
Do not operate engine at low idle for long
periods with engine coolant temperature
below the minimum specification in your
diesel engine manual. This can result in
the following:
• Fuel dilution of the lubricating oil
• Carbon build up in the cylinder
• Cylinder head valve sticking
• Reduced performance
Further Information
See the chassis manual in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions and other
information on all of the features of your
SmartWheel.
