See your chassis manual for location and reset
procedures for this switch.
NOTE: It is possible to accidentally trigger the
fuel pump shut-off switch by abruptly
striking an object such as a curb or
parking block. If your vehicle exhibits
symptoms of running out of fuel
immediately after such an occurrence,
the fuel pump shut-off switch may need to
be reset.
Consult your chassis manual for
additional information.

OVERDRIVE SWITCH

™
Workhorse Chassis 20,700 GVWR 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
where the transmission will repeatedly shift up
and down causing annoyance and reduced fuel
economy.
Further Information
See the chassis manual in your InfoCase 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.
Further Information
See the chassis manual in your InfoCase for
further operating instructions and cautions.

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

The hazard warning flashers provide
additional safety when the vehicle must be
stopped on the side of the roadway and presents a
possible hazard to other motorists. When the
flashers are on, it serves as a warning to other
drivers.
Further Information
See your chassis manual for instructions on
activating, operating, and canceling hazard
warning flashers.
