LIVING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver's comprutment. A detailed operating and
maintenance guide is included in your
Owner's
Information Package.
Read all instructions for
this system carefully before operating the system.
A.
WARNING
The leveling system is designed as a leveling system
only. Do not use the system as a jack or with a jack.
Do not attempt to raise the tires off the ground. The
system should be used to raise the recreational vehi·
cle to the lowest level position possible.
AIR DUMP SYSTEM
The suspension system air bags must be deflated
before the motor home is leveled with the level·
ing system. An "air dump" system is installed
on the suspension system to drain the air from
the suspension air bags.
A dual·position switch on the instlUment panel
controls the air dump system. When the air bags
are deflated, the motor home will settle slightly
from normal ride height, and you may hear a
sound of lUshing ail: This is nOlmal. After the
air bags are completely deflated, the leveling
system can be operated.
Be sure to set the air dump switch back to nor·
mal position after retracting the leveling system,
and before attempting to drive away.
POWER ENTRY STEP
(If Equipped)
The power enlly step is controlled by a magnetic
ently door position switch, the engine ignition
switch and by an override switch located near
the entry door. Power for the entry step is sup·
plied by the chassis battery (or batteries). The
battelY system must be connected (battelY dis·
connect in the "ON" position) for the enlly step
to operate.
The enlly step will typically extend and retract
with the opening and closing of the entry door as
controlled by the entry door position switch
(function is automatic). Activating the override
switch will move the ently step to the extended
position, and it will stay there regardless of
whether the door is open or closed. Regardless
of the oven'ide switch position, activation of the
ignition key with the entry door closed will
retract the entry step. This helps to prevent inad·
vertently driving off with the enlly step
extended. The switches operate the ently step
according to the following table.
A.
WARNING
Always look and be sure the step is extended before
entering or exiting the motor home.

WARNING
