CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
STEERING WHEEL 14129
Air Horn
The air horn button is located on the center of
the steering wheel. Use this horn only on the
highway.
FOOT-OPERATED CONTROLS
FOOT OPERATED CONTROLS 8118A
SERVICE BRAKES
The coach is equipped with a dual braking
system. The front brakes operate differently from
the drive and tag axle brakes.
The dual braking system becomes a modulated
emergency system if a pressure drop occurs in
the rear brake system. Only the drive and tag
axles are equipped with parking brakes.
Service brakes are applied by depressing the
brake pedal. Braking increases with the amount
of pressure applied to the foot pedal. Refer to
"Other Features" chapter 4 under "Anti-lock
Braking System". When the brake pedal is
depressed, the brake lights turn ON
automatically.
For safe and effective braking, the air system
pressure should reach at least 95 psi (655 kPa)
in both the primary and secondary circuits.
A warning light and a buzzer will sound when
the air pressure in either the primary or
secondary circuits drops below 70 psi (483 kPa).
If this occurs, stop the coach, determine the
cause of the pressure loss before proceeding.
The brake pedal can be used in conjunction with
the transmission retarder. Refer to
Transmission Output Retarder in this section.
Warning: Immediately report any brake
system problem to the nearest Prévost or
Prévost-authorized service center.
Warning: Do not "fan" or "pump" the brake
pedal. This practice does not increase brake
system effectiveness but rather reduces system
air pressure thereby causing reduced braking
effectiveness.
Caution: "Riding" the brake by resting one's
foot on the brake pedal when not braking can
cause abnormally high brake temperature, can
damage and cause premature wear of brake
components and reduce brake effectiveness.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Controls engine RPM as needed.
Note: The accelerator pedal will not operate
when the front door is open.
Caution: Do not let the engine operate above
2,450 RPM.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT UNLOCK
AIR VALVE
Push on the valve button with the left foot to
unlock the steering wheel for tilt and telescopic
adjustment.
Warning: Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Loss of control could
result. Park the vehicle safely and apply parking
brakes before adjusting the steering wheel.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The operation and driving of this vehicle with an
automatic transmission is similar to that of an
3-21
