LEVELING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Controls for the leveling system are located in the
driver’s compartment. 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.
POWER ENTRY STEP (If Equipped)
The power entry step is controlled by the igni-
tion switch and by a switch near the entry door.
Power for the entry step is supplied by the chas-
sis battery. The battery must be connected for the
step to operate as described below. The step has
a “last out” feature. With the door closed, the
step power switch OFF, turn the ignition switch
ON. The step will retract. Turn OFF the ignition,
open the door and the step will extend and lock
in the OUT position. The step also has an igni-
tion override feature. If the door is closed (as
though ready to depart) with the step extended,
the step will automatically retract when the
engine ignition is switched ON. This prevents
driving with the step extended. The switches
operate the step according to the following table.
Refer to the power step Owner’s Manual in your
Owner’s Information Package for details on
maintenance and lubrication.
