Coaches may be equipped with an ignition lever
instead of an ignition key. Use the ignition switch
to activate the electrical circuit by turning it
counterclockwise to the ON position.
To start the engine, turn the key clockwise to the
START position, and then release it. The key will
set to ON position.
CAUTION
When the vehicle is parked overnight or for an
extended period of time, the battery master
switch (ignition switch) should be set to the off
position.

When the battery master switch (ignition
switch) is set to the off position, all electrical
supply from the batteries is cut off, with the
exception of battery equalizer check module,
ecm ignition and power supply, Allison tcm, i-
shift transmission ecu), coolant electronic,
coolant heater and water re-circulating pump,
power-verter, fire alarm and entrance door.
The ignition switch doubles as the battery
master switch. Any position other than OFF
activates the electrical circuits. Electrical circuits
are also activated when the hazard switch is
depressed. Two auxiliary master switches in
series with the ignition switch are installed on
the vehicle; one is located on the rear electrical
panel and one in the engine compartment on the
rear start panel, for maintenance ease.
The ignition switch is located on the lower left
side of the dashboard. It has four positions:

OFF

In the OFF position, ignition cannot take place.
The key can be removed when in this position.
The electrical circuits are not activated when the
switch is in this position. Only the accessories
connected directly to the batteries can be
activated. These are the coolant heater and
water pump, the battery master switch, the
baggage compartments locking system, the
entrance door and Message Center Display
