NOTE
If the interior lever is used to exit the coach and
the key is not used to unlock the door, it will lock
again upon closing. Remember to remove the
keys upon exiting.
DOOR OPERATION LOGIC
If the switch is held in position until the door is fully
open or closed, the system holds pressure in the
door cylinder, locking the door in that position. The
door can be open to any position by releasing the
switch (or button if inside) when the desired
position is attained. However, the door is not
locked in any position other than fully open or fully
closed. The door can then be open or closed
further by pushing or pulling on the door.
When the door is almost shut, a mechanism will
finish the closing of the door. This works even
when the door is shut manually.
EMERGENCY DOOR OPENING
Refer to "EMERGENCY ENTRANCE DOOR
OPENING" on page3 in Section 7, Safety
Features and Equipment.
WHEELCHAIR LIFT ACCESS DOORS
To open the optional wheelchair lift access doors,
the coach must be parked on a flat and level
surface with the parking brake on. Using the
exterior compartment doors key, unlock and
carefully lower the lift mechanism access door
which is part of the baggage compartment door.
The lift mechanism access door is located directly
below the wheelchair access door. A handle at the
left of the lift mechanism unlocks and enables
opening of the wheelchair access door. If the
parking brake is not activated, a switch in the door
will activate the parking brake when it detects the
door is open.
FIGURE 25: WHEELCHAIR LIFT ACCESS DOORS
Open the wheelchair access door completely until
it locks in the open position. To close the door, pull
on the tab located on the inside of the door and
slam the door shut. Refer to “Other Features” for
more information on operating the wheelchair lift.
