ENTRANCE DOOR

The entrance door is controlled by a switch on the
RH switch panel on the instrument panel, or by an
exterior switch located rearward of the door
( Figure 30 ).
Figure 30. Exterior Entrance Door Switch
The DOOR OPEN telltale turns ON when the door
is open.
To operate, hold the switch until the door is fully
opened or closed. The door may be stopped anywhere
in its travel by releasing the switch. The door catch will
engage when the door is in the fully closed position
only, with the ignition ON.

KNEELING

The coach has a kneeling feature that allows the
operator to lower the front of the coach five (5) inches
(127 mm) for ease of boarding.
To activate the kneeling feature, the park brake
must be set, the transmission must be in Neutral and
the entrance door must be closed.
To avoid personal injury and property
damage, ensure that nothing is under the
coach when kneeling.

5 - OPERATING FEATURES

To lower the coach, press and hold the KNEEL half
of the switch in the RH switch panel. While the coach is
lowering, the KNEEL telltale and exterior kneel lamps
flash, and interior and exterior (optional) buzzers
sound. When the coach reaches kneel height, the
telltale remains lit, but the exterior lamp and buzzer(s)
go off (Figure 30.).
To return to normal ride height, press and release
the RECOVER half of the switch.
If the KNEEL switch is released before the coach is
fully knelled, the coach stops lowering. To resume
kneeling, press and hold RECOVER to return to normal
ride height, then press and hold KNEEL to reactivate
kneeling.
The coach automatically returns to normal
height if the park brake is released or the
transmission is shifted out of Neutral.

REAR RISE

The coach may be equipped with the rear rise
option, which prevents rear bumper scuffing in off-
highway situations by raising the rear bumper
approximately three (3) inches (76 mm) above normal
ride height.
The Rear Rise switch is located on the RH switch
panel. When the coach is traveling under 20 mph
(30 kph) and the RAISE half of the switch is pressed,
the rear of the coach rises, the HIGH RIDE telltale
lights and a buzzer sounds.
Pressing the Normal Ride / Recover switch or
traveling above 20 mph (30 kph) returns the coach to
normal ride height.
Do not operate the coach in the high position
for extended periods. Lower the rear rise
system before any suspension maintenance
or inspection.
