LIVING WITH YOUR MOTOR HOME
LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver's compaltment. 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.
POWER ENTRY STEP
(If Equipped)
The power entry step is controlled by a magnetic
enlty door position switch, the engine ignition
switch and by an override switch located near
the enlty door. Power for the entry step is sup-
plied by the chassis battery (or batteries). The
battery system must be connected (battery dis-
connect in the "ON" position) for the entry step
to operate.
The entry step will typically extend and retract
with the opening and closing of the enlt·y door as
controlled by the entry door position switch
(function is automatic). Activating the override
switch will move the enlty step to the extended
position, and it will stay there regardless of
whether the door is open or closed. Regardless
of the override 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 entry step
extended. The switches operate the entty step
according to the following table.
A.
WARNING
Always look and be sure the step is extended before
entering or exiting the motor home.
A.
WARNING
If door is quickly opened and closed without allowing
the step to fully extend and lock in the "OUT" position,
the step will immediately retract and lock in the "UP"
position.
Refer to the power step Owner's Manual in your
Owner's Information Package

enlty door by depressing the catch or releasing the
magnet.
