Automatic Safety Retraction
The Solar/Night Shade in your vehicle is
equipped with an Automatic Safety Retraction
feature, which will retract the Solar/Night Shade
to the full upper position in the rare event of an
internal motor failure.
Should the Automatic Safety Retraction
feature deploy, go to your nearest Winnebago
Industries
®
dealer for service before operating
the shade again.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to extend the Solar/
Night Shade or operate the power
switches after deployment.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide
provided in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions, troubleshooting tips, and
maintenance care.
BRAKE-SHIFT INTERLOCK
Ford
®
Chassis
The Brake-Shift Interlock is a safety feature
that prevents the shift lever from being moved
from the Park position unless the ignition is ON
and the service brake pedal is pressed.
NOTE: If the brake light fuse is blown, the
interlock feature will not work properly
and an alternate method must be used.
See the chassis manual provided in your
InfoCase for detailed instructions on
what to do in this situation.
PARK BRAKE – FOOT PEDAL
Ford
®
Chassis
The park brake foot pedal and release lever are
located beneath the left side of the dash.
Step the pedal down fully to apply and pull the
brake release knob to disengage.
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.
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.
• Press the button at the end of the shift
lever to engage Tow/Haul Mode
when pulling a trailer or tow vehicle.
