NOTE
: Switches will vary according to options on vehicle.
AIRSTREAM DASH CONTROLS
Most automotive gauges and controls are standard instruments provided by the chassis manufacturer. Their
function and use is described in your Drivers Manual. The exception on automotive controls is the
heater/air conditioner. Operating instructions on these components can be found in the chassis section of
this manual.
ARM REST SWITCHES:
•
Door Lock
- The main door can be locked or unlocked from the drivers seat. Remember to hide an extra
door key on the exterior in case of unexpected battery failure.
•
Auxiliary Start
- The auxiliary start switch is intended to be used if the engine battery becomes too
discharged to turn the engine over. To operate, hold the switch in the start position, and then use the
ignition switch in a normal fashion. Operating the auxiliary start switch closes the points on a large
solenoid, tying all three-vehicle batteries together for increased starting power.
•
Generator Switch
- The remote generator switch on the dash allows the driver to start or stop the
generator without leaving the driver's seat. It should be noted a built-in time delay allows the generator to
reach full operating speed before 120 volt current is provided to the coach.
• ICC Blink
- With this switch it is possible to blink the clearance lights on the motorhome. It's most
commonly used as a way of indicating your thanks for a courtesy shown to you by another driver.
• Rear Camera
- The rear view-monitoring camera has two positions. One will show the rear bumper and
operating the switch tilts the camera to view further back.
• Driving Lights
- To operate the driving lights the regular headlights must be turned on first.
• Defrost Fans
- In cool, damp weather these fans really help to clear the large windshields. This switch
turns them on and off and each fan has it's own switch to operate the oscillating feature.
•
Map Light
- If you leave the switch at the overhead map light in the on position the light can then be
controlled by this armrest switch.
• Mirror
- Move center switch to R or L. The four perimeter switches will then move the right or left
mirror in the direction indicated. The paddle type switch marked heat is for defrosting the mirrors.
(Hopefully you won't need this unless you're a skier).
