Because the switch is just a momentary contact to activate the relay, there is no indicator light to show that the battery
disconnect switch is in the on position. The touch screen above the switches will be illuminated if the switch is on, and dark if
it is off. You will hear a "clunk" as the battery disconnect switch is pressed - this is a big relay connecting the coach batteries
to the electrical loads.
If you hear a clunk-clunk, or nothing at all, it's possible that your batteries are depleted to the point where they cannot drive
the relay. Take steps to charge your batteries, such as starting the vehicle engine, and try again after building the batteries
up to a charge level where they will power the relay.

Power Step Switch
Your Roadtrek is equipped with a step that automatically extends when the side door is opened for easy entry and exit from
your vehicle. To lock the step in the extended position, push the top of this switch in. A green indicator light will illuminate,
showing that the step is locked in the extended position. This switch is useful to keep the step stationary and extended while
camping, rather than have it extend and retract every time the door is opened and shut.
For safety reasons, the step will automatically retract when the ignition is turned on, even when the step is in the
locked position. This is to prevent damage caused by driving with the step extended. If you turn the ignition on for any
reason, such as to use the engine generator to recharge your batteries, please ensure that no one is attempting to enter
