gear to help control the vehicle speed.

OVER-DRIVE SWITCH
Workhorse 20,700 GVWR chassis
and greater only
The Overdrive Switch allows you to
deactivate the automatic overdrive feature of the
transmission when necessary.
When this switch is ON, the transmission will
automatically shift to the overdrive gear
whenever possible for greatest fuel economy.
Some driving situations, however, may
require the transmission to be temporarily
disabled from shifting into overdrive gear, such
as when towing a car or trailer, driving in rolling
hill country or driving into a strong headwind
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
where the transmission will repeatedly shift up
and down causing annoyance and reduced fuel
economy.
See your chassis manual for further
information on this switch.
TOW/HAUL TRANSMISSION
MODE
(Ford Chassis only)
This mode locks out Overdrive and helps
reduce gear 'hunting' by the automatic
transmission while towing. It also improves
power delivery and uses engine braking to help
control vehicle speed when descending hills.
This mode may also be useful when the coach
is fully loaded or when driving into a strong
headwind.
Press the button at the end of the shift lever to
engage Tow/Haul Mode when pulling a trailer or
tow vehicle.
See your chassis manual for further operating
instructions and cautions.
MAP LIGHT SWITCH
Turn the driver side map light on using the
Panel Dim thumbwheel. Roll it up to maximum
position until you feel it click into the map light
'on' position.
See your chassis manual for further
information on this switch.
