Bendix Wingman System (Optional)
Figure 19.
The Driver is always responsible for the control and the safe operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix Wingman Advanced (or ACB) system does not replace the need for a skilled, alert professional driver, reacting appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe driving practices.
Any audible and/or visual alert by the system means that your vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead, immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision.
Improper use of the Bendix Wingman Advanced (or ACB) system can result in a collision causing property damage, serious injuries, or death.
Active Cruise with Braking (ACB)
The Wingman system (Figure 19.) is engaged by turning cruise control ON and setting the vehicle speed. The system helps maintain a set distance between the operated vehicle and a detected vehicle ahead. To disengage the system, turn the cruise control OFF or press the brake pedal.
The Wingman Advanced (or ACB) system is
automatically ready when the cruise control is set. However, cruise control must be used only in the same conditions that are normally recommended for ordinary cruise control. As noted below, there are certain situations when cruise control should NOT be used. Do not use cruise control in the following conditions or situations:
Inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, ice or other severe weather conditions)
Dense Traffic
Sharp curves and winding roads
Entrance or exit ramps
Downhill grades
Construction zones
Smaller forward vehicles - Smaller vehicles, such as motorcycles, may be difficult for the radar to identify. It is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of these types of vehicles and to slow down if necessary.
Any vehicle trouble code that disables vehicle cruise control will also cause a diagnostic trouble code in Wingman Advanced (or ACB). The Wingman system will not operate until the DTC is cleared.
Collision Mitigation (Advanced)
Audible and visual alerts are provided to the operator through a Driver Interface Unit (DIU). All the alerts are always active regardless whether cruise control is engaged or not. Any alert means your vehicle is too close to another vehicle or object. These alerts will change as the distance between the two vehicles decreases alerting the operator of the impending hazard. As the distance closes, the system will automatically intervene and slow the vehicle.
July 201522
The radar system only senses metallic objects. Non-metallic or limited metallic objects such as people, animals, RVs, motorcycles, horse drawn buggies, logging vehicles, or cross- traffic will not trigger the system.
Due to inherent limitations of radar technology, the collision mitigation technology on rare occasions may not detect moving vehicles or stationary objects in your vehicle’s lane of travel.
Road curvature may impact the radar’s ability to track vehicles ahead in the same lane.
Operator alerts, warnings, or brake interventions may not occur. In addition, the system may react to moving vehicles not in your vehicle’s lane of travel. Operator alerts, warnings, or brake interventions may occur.
Following Distance Alert (FDA)
A FDA is generated through the DIU using vehicle speed, forward vehicle speed, distance and driving scenarios.
These alerts indicate that the time between your vehicle and the detected forward vehicle ahead is less than one and a half (1.5) seconds and decreasing. Once the audible alert is heard, the driver should increase the distance between their vehicle and the vehicle ahead until the audible alert stops.
Single, Yellow Illuminated LED
The forward vehicle is within a 1.5 seconds range and traveling at the same speed or slower.
The screen will visually show the distance between the vehicles, closing.
Two, Yellow Illuminated LEDs
The forward vehicle is much too close and traveling at the same speed or slower. The screen will visually show the vehicles slightly closer to each other.

8. LCD Display
All Three, Yellow Illuminated LEDs
This is the closest and most urgent Following Distance Alert. The forward vehicle is in this zone and traveling at the same speed or slower. The screen will visually show the distance between the vehicles as very close.
All Three, Red Illuminated LEDs
This alert is the most severe warning. A loud solid tone is generated, and the screen will flash. The system will automatically slow down the vehicle. The operator must apply additional braking to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. If a collision is likely to occur, and the collision mitigation feature activates the brakes, the tone of the alert will change and the screen will flash between two displays.
This alert indicates that a collision with the detected forward vehicle is likely and the driver must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of a collision.
23July 2015
Stationary Object Alert (SOA)
This alert does not provide any automatic intervention at all, active braking or vehicle deceleration. Operator must take appropriate braking and/or avoidance measures. This alert indicates that a collision with a stationary object is likely and the operator must immediately act to potentially avoid, or lessen the severity of, a collision. System will provide up to a three (3) second alert when approaching a detected, sizable, metallic stationary object in vehicle’s current lane of travel.
Solid Blue LEDs
If the operator doesn't take action within 15 seconds, the system will shut off and a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) will be generated. All intervention features of the system will remain off until the next ignition cycle. If the operator does intervene within the 15 seconds, the system will remain unavailable for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes the displayed ACB Braking Overuse message will disappear and the blue LED will turn off.
All three types of alerts (FDA, IA, and SOA) will continue to be provided during the brake overuse alert.
Two Yellow Illuminated LEDs
The radar detects a sizable, non-moving, metallic
object in the vehicle's path of travel.
Brake Overuse Alert
This alert is provided when the system is intervening and using the brakes excessively . Brake overuse can lead to overheating and a potential loss of braking performance (brake fade).
Using cruise control on downhill runs will cause this alert. Do not use cruise control on downhill grades.
Blinking Blue LEDs
When brake overuse is detected, a text message and audible alert/alarm is generated and the DIU blue LED will illuminate. The operator has 15 seconds to take action (turn cruise control OFF or apply the brakes).
False Alerts
In certain unusual traffic or roadway conditions, Wingman Advanced (or ACB) may issue a false alert. While eliminating all false alerts is not possible, if false alerts occur too frequently (more than twice a day), this may indicate sensor misalignment. Service the system at the earliest opportunity.
Front Bumper Radar Sensor
The sensor relaying information to the DIU is located on the front bumper of the coach (Figure 21.).
Figure 21.
Radar sensor inspection for obstruction/ damage must be monitored routinely.

ELECTRIC HORN
Press the horn bar on the steering wheel center hub to activate the electric horn.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is to the right of the service brake pedal.
SERVICE BRAKES
Do not apply the parking brakes until the coach has come to a complete stop.
The coach has air-operated service brakes that are applied with the foot pedal to the left of the accelerator pedal.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) minimizes brake
lock-up at each wheel.
DO NOT pump the brake pedal.This defeats the purpose of the ABS.
The ABS telltale on the LH telltale cluster is used for blink code diagnostics and lets the driver know the status of the system. The telltale lights briefly at ignition. If it lights at any other time, the system requires service. Full regular braking remains, and partial ABS may be present (refer to Figure 27.).
Stop lamps on the rear of the coach light when the brake pedal is pressed. The STOP LAMPS telltale on the RH telltale cluster lights.
ABS Telltale
If an ABS malfunction is indicated by the ABS telltale lamp, the driver must safely stop the coach and safely check all six (6) wheel ends for an overheat condition.
If an overheat condition exists, the coach must NOT be driven until inspected by a qualified technician.
In the event of an ABS malfunction, the braking system will default to a normal braking system. Exercise caution to avoid potential wheel-lock conditions.

ENTRANCE DOOR
OPERATING FEATURES
The entrance door is controlled by a switch on the RH switch panel on the instrument panel, or by an exterior switch located rearward of the door (Figure 28.).
Figure 28. Exterior Entrance Door Switch
The DOOR OPEN telltale turns ON when the door
is open.
To operate, hold the switch until the door is fully
opened or closed. The door may be stopped
anywhere in its travel by releasing the switch. The
door catch will engage when the door is in the fully
closed position only, with the ignition ON.
KNEELING
The coach has a kneeling feature that allows the operator to lower the front of the coach five (5) inches (127 mm) for ease of boarding.
To activate the kneeling feature, the park brake must be set, the transmission must be in Neutral and the entrance door must be closed.
sound. When the coach reaches kneel height, the telltale remains lit, but the exterior lamp and buzzer(s) go off (Figure 28.).
To return to normal ride height, press and release
the RECOVER half of the switch.
If the KNEEL switch is released before the coach is fully knelled, the coach stops lowering. To resume kneeling, press and hold RECOVER to return to normal ride height, then press and hold KNEEL to reactivate kneeling.
The coach automatically returns to normal height if the park brake is released or the transmission is shifted out of Neutral.
REAR RISE
The coach may be equipped with the rear rise
option, which prevents rear bumper scuffing in off-
highway situations by raising the rear bumper
approximately three (3) inches (76 mm) above
normal ride height.
The Rear Rise switch is located on the RH switch
panel. When the coach is traveling under 20 mph
(30 kph) and the RAISE half of the switch is
pressed, the rear of the coach rises, the HIGH
RIDE telltale lights and a buzzer sounds.
Pressing LOWER or traveling above 20 mph
(30 kph) returns the coach to normal ride height.
To avoid personal injury and property damage, ensure that nothing is under the coach when kneeling.
To lower the coach, press and hold the KNEEL half of the switch in the RH switch panel. While the coach is lowering, the KNEEL telltale and exterior kneel lamps flash, and interior and exterior (optional) buzzers
Do not operate the coach in the high position for extended periods. Lower the rear rise system before any suspension maintenance or inspection.
29July 2015
TAG AXLE UNLOAD, ELECTRICAL
(OPTIONAL)
The electrical tag axle unloading feature allows the operator to partially unload the tag axle using a dash­mounted switch. When the coach cannot get traction, this transfers weight to the drive axle. The operator should refill the tag as soon as the coach has regained traction. It is unsafe to drive the coach with the tag axle air springs unloaded.
Only the tag axle unloading feature in low traction situations.
Do not use it for normal driving. Reduce coach speed when the tag axle air springs are unloaded.
To unload, press the TAG AXLE switch located on
the LH switch panel. The TAG UNLOAD telltale will
light and a buzzer will sound.
To re-load, press the TAG AXLE switch again or
drive above 17 mph.
Applying the service brake prevents MDSS from
self-leveling the coach when the tag axle is
unloaded.
IN-STATION LIGHTING/BATTERY CHARGER
(J4500) (OPTIONAL)
An optional 110V AC receptacle in the battery
compartment provides for in-station lighting and
battery charging.
AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL (ATC)
This system improves traction when the coach is on slippery surfaces by reducing drive wheel spin. If one drive wheel starts to spin, ATC applies the brake to transfer engine torque to the wheel with better trac tion. If all drive wheels spin, ATC reduces engine torque to improve traction.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Coaches are equipped with a stability c ontr ol system that features Electronic Stability Control (ESC) combined with Roll Stability Control (RSC). ESC is a computerized technology that improves the safety of a vehicle's handling by detecting and potentially preventing skids by automatically applying brakes to help steer the vehicle where the driver wants to go.
ESC is automatic in that these systems become active when the system Electronic Control Unit (ECU) senses conditions that could produce imminent roll or directional instabilities. Rapid lane changes or cornering at excessive speed on dry or slippery surfaces can create the potential for spin-out or drift out, often before the operator is aware. The ESC system uses a lateral accelerometer, a steer angle sensor in the steering column and a yaw rate sensor to enhance the operator's control in these conditions.
The stability control system is designed to assist the operator, not to replace the operator.
The operator will notice a difference in the coach when the ESC system becomes active, but should continue to drive as normal and provide any additional needed corrections. In an ESC event, the operator may first sense a decrease in engine power as the system ECU overrides the accelerator pedal, and may then sense additional deceleration from an engine brake application and service brake applications on the steer axle brakes or all axle brakes, depending on whether the conditions suggest the possibility of a directional control or a rollover event.
The telltale comes on when the drive wheels spin during acceleration. It goes out when the drive wheels stop spinning. ATC is always active; the operator does not have to select it.
The MUD/SNOW switch is included with ATC. On extra soft surfaces, such as mud, deep snow or gravel, this feature increases traction by slightly increasing wheel spin. When MUD/SNOW is active, the LOW TRACTION telltale blinks continuously.
July 201530
WHEELCHAIR LIFT (OPTIONAL)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A wheelchair lift is installed in the storage compartment on the curbside rear of the coach, between the wheel housing and the rear ser vice doo r. The lift provides safe on-loading and off-loading of wheelchair passengers with easy ground level access. The platform raises to coach floor level where the passenger enters the coach through the cabin access door.
The lift is powered by an electrically operated hydraulic pump, with emergency manual back-up, and operated with a hand held WCL controller. Keyed operation and a safety interlock prevents unsafe deployment.
The wheelchair lift platform features:
folding handrails,
a manually operated front barrier,
a powered rear barrier that acts as a bridge between the platform and the coach floor.
A cabin access door is located directly above the wheelchair lift storage compartment. The door has a forward hinge and a positive lock mechanism to prevent accidental closing. The cabin access door is operated manually.
Two wheelchair parking spaces are available next to and across from the lift platform. Special sliding and folding seats can be repositioned to provide wheelchair parking area.
A seven point wheelchair and passenger
restraint system is included at both wheelchair locations.
The electric pump, emergency hand pump (Figure 29.) and reservoir assembly are located in the rear service compartment.
WHEELCHAIR INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This system prevents the WCL controller to be
enabled until the following functions occur:
the main battery disconnect switch is in the ON position,
the engine is running,
Neutral is selected on the transmission shift pad,
the Park Brake is set,
the master wheelchair lift key switch (located on the lower, LH switch panel) is turned to the ON position.
Only after these conditions are met, the following functions occur:
the vehicle assumes normal ride height,
the throttle is disabled,
the WCL INTRLK dash telltale illuminates,
the engine is running at fast idle,
the Hazard/Warning lights automatically activate,
the audible back up alarm automatically activates,
the transmission shift inhibit and MDSS inhibit are energized,
the park brake lock valve is energized,
the wcl interior light illuminates,
the wcl controller is enabled,
the key will release from the master wheelchair lift key switch, eliminating the possibility of theft or engaging the coach during wheelchair operation.

Securing The Passenger (cont'd)
Care and Maintenance
1. Ensure a straight line from anchorage to wheelchair attachment.
2. Select the appropriate attachment points on the wheelchair. Look for frame members that are welded or securely bolted to each other.
NOTE: DO NOT use removable armrests, footrests, wheels of the crisscross supports on folding wheelchairs.
3. The rear attachment points should be a solid frame member as near as possible to where the seat and the back meet. The front attachment points should be a solid frame member, which will create an angle between 30 and 45 degrees to the retractor.
4. Attach the “J” hooks on all four retractor belts to solid frame members.
5. Ensure that the belts are prope rly tensioned.
NOTE: DO NOT allow the webbing to be twisted inside the retractor.
6. Extend the shoulder belt from the retractor and attach the female pin connector end to the male pin connector on the lap belt. The belt will remain comfortable on the passenger and lock only in an emergency when an inertial force is applied.
1. Clean the webbing periodically with mild soap and water. After cleaning, fully extend the belts and position them to prevent water from entering the retractor until completely dry. Take care to prevent contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, particularly battery acid.
2. Webbing and components should be inspected, cleaned and maintained regularly.
3. Frayed, contaminated and damaged webbing should be replaced.
4. Broken and worn parts should be replaced.
5. Components, including anchorages, that are suspected to have been in use during an impact from which the vehicle must be towed, should be replaced.
6. Clean bolt threads and re-apply permanent thread locker if bolts are adjusted.
Do not use the wheelchair life for lifting freight. The warranty will be void. Do not use the wheelchair life for lifting
NOTE: When positioned properly, the shoulder belt should lay across the torso and angle up from the mid-point of the shoulder to the wall.
NOTE: Adjust the belt as firmly as possible consistent with user comfort.
DO NOT twist the belt.
7. Engage the wheel locks on the wheelchair.
Ensure all passengers and wheelchair equipment is secured correctly. Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury or death.

ENGINE OPERATION, FUEL AND EXHAUST
Starting the Engine
The controls necessary to starting and stopping the engine from the driver's area or engine compartment are mounted on the instrument panel in front of the driver and on the remote box in the engine compartment. These controls and a description of their operation and function follow:
Do not engage the started for longer than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 30 seconds before cranking again. Continuous use can damage the starter motor.
Front Start Procedure
Figure 45.
1. Master Power / Ignition Switch - Pressing this switch to the ON (upper) position will enable all of the multiplex modules and turn on the coach's electrical system (Figure 45.).
Rear Start/Remote Engine Operation
This feature is primarily for maintenance purposes. Before attempting to start engine from rear of coach, make sure transmission is in Neutral and parking brake is applied.
The remote electrical control panel is located at the LH side in the engine compartment. To gain access to the panel, open rear engine compartment doors.
1. Ensure the ENGINE ENABLE switch on the remote engine control box (located in the engine compartment) is set to ON.
Be very careful when the engine is running and the engine door is open. If it is necessary to have the engine running for certain inspections or checks, keep a safe distance from moving belts, pulleys, shafts or fans. Keep hands and limbs away from moving belts and pulleys and also hot areas such as exhaust and turbocharger components and coolant lines. DO NOT wear loose, baggy or frayed clothing when working near any moving parts such as pulleys, belts, shafts or fans.
2. Actuate the “REAR START” switch to start engine. The start switch is a momentary-on spring return type and must be held in the depressed position to engage the starter.

Press the upper portion of the engine start momentary-on spring return switch to engage the starter. Release the switch once the coach has started. Allow the coach to idle for 30 seconds. To STOP the engine, place the master power switch / ignition in the OFF (lower) position.
Do Not engage the starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time.Wait 30 seconds before cranking again. Continuous use can damage the starter motor.
Engine Warm-Up
Activate the FAST IDLE switch to warm up the engine, fill the air system quickly, and to increase electrical and HVAC output. Parking brake must be applied. Watch gauges and telltales. If abnormalities arise, stop engine and find cause.
39July 2015
Stopping the Engine
1. Bring coach to a complete stop.
2. Place the transmission in Neutral.
Shutting down the engine from high idle can damage the turbine bearings.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Idle the engine at low rpm for 30 seconds, then turn the ignition OFF.
Regeneration Switch
The regeneration toggle switch is located in the

TRANSMISSION OPERATION
- Used to select gear ranges manually. The display will show the highest gear in the selected range. Lower gears can be selected to provide engine braking on steep grades.
GEN V AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The B500 series GEN V is an electronically­controlled hydraulic auto-shifting six-speed transmission. This transmission controls all aspects of the shift function once placed into the desired drive range. Shift range selections are made with the touch­pad module located on the side console.
A two-character digital display is located at the top of automatic transmission shift selector. The left character of the display, SELECT, designates N, R, or the highest gear available of the selected forward range. The right character of the display, MONITOR, designates the actual gear which is being commanded by the transmission control module (TCM).
Two-character diagnostic codes can be accessed using the touch-pad on the pushbutton shift selector.
The MODE button, can be utilized to invoke a special function that has been programmed into the TCM. A small red light is illuminated on the MODE button when the function is activated.

GEN V Diagnostic Code Retrieval
Diagnostic codes, displayed as two digit numbers,
indicate a transmission malfunction. Diagnostic
codes can be accessed through the pushbutton
shift selector. These codes are logged in the TCM /
ECU with the most severe or recent code listed
first.
A maximum of five codes, identified as d1 to d5,
can be listed at one time. As codes are added, the
oldest non-active codes are dropped from the list. If
all codes are active, the code with the lowest
priority not included on the severity list is dropped.
If the displayed code is active, the red light is
illuminated on the MODE button. If the displayed
code is non-active, the red light will not illuminate
on the MODE button.
The display will show two dashes (--) if diagnostic
cycle was performed and no problems were found.
Pressing the N key on the touch-pad, with the
ignition turned ON (engine can be running), will
allow the user to retrieve the transmission codes.
Observe the two digit display for codes. Press the
MODE button to view the next code.
Record all codes.
Diagnostic Code Example
Code - P0722. Displayed as: d1, P, 07, 22.
d1 is the diagnostic code list position. P is the main diagnostic code. 07, 22 are the sub codes. Each item is displayed for about one second.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECKS
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Access the transmission dipstick and fill tube from
the rear engine door.
Electronic Fluid Check
1. After reaching normal operating temperature [140F - 220F (60C - 104C)], park the vehicle on a level surface, select Neutral and allow the engine to idle (500-800 rpm).
NOTE: Coach should be stationary for approx. two minutes to allow the fluid to settle. NO fast idle during electronic fluid check.
3. The fluid level will display:
If correct, OL-OK. If low, OL-LO-# (number of quarts of
transmission fluid required). If high, OL-HI-# (number of quarts overfilled).
4. Confirm with a manual fluid level check.
Manual Cold Fluid Level Check
Do a cold check to ensure that the transmission has enough fluid for safe operation until a hot check can be done. Check the reading at least twice.
1. Park the coach on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Run the engine for at least 1 minute.
3. Apply the service brakes, shift the transmission to drive (D) and operate the engine at 1000 to 1500 rpm for 30 seconds. Shift to reverse (R) to clear air from the hydraulic system. Shift to neutral (N) and idle the engine at 500-800 rpm.
4. With the engine running, remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe it clean.
5. Insert the dipstick into the tube and remove it. Check the level reading.
6. Repeat to verify the reading.
7. If the fluid level is within the COLD RUN band, the transmission may be operated until the fluid is hot enough to perform a hot check. As required, add fluid to bring the level to the middle of the band.
8. Perform a hot check as soon as the coach reaches normal operating temperature [140F ­220F (60C - 104C)].
Low and High fluid levels cause overheating and irregular shift patterns. If not corrected, transmission damage can occur.
Dipstick checks may not agree exactly with sensor checks, because the oil level sensor compensates for fluid temperatures.

Baggage Compartments
Baggage compartments are located
between the front and rear axle.
To avoid pinching fingers, do not hold the edge of the door when closing it.
Baggage doors are locked by driver-controlled
switches on the switch panel.
DO NOT attempt to fit stud mount rims. DO NOT attempt to fit 8.25” rims. Only use tires that are sufficiently rated. Fit similar tires in similar condition on both sides of the axle. Only use correctly-profiled valve stems in hub-mounted 9” x 22.5” rims.
Front or Trailing Axle
1. Turn the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Run the flat tire up on the run-up block. Stop the coach and apply the parking brake.
3. Place the bottle jack under the axle beam so that the jack ram pad fits into the round recess at the bottom of the axle beam. Partially raise the wheel (Figure 89.).

Figure 89.
4. Before the tire is completely off the ground, loosen the wheel nuts.
5. Raise the wheel completely, remove the run-up block, and remove the wheel nuts and the wheel and tire assembly.
6. Mount the wheel on the hub pilot.
2. Place the bottle jack under the drive axle (Figure 91.) so that the jack ram pad fits the recess at the bottom of the jacking pad. The jack pad is on the rear face of the drive axle beam below the suspension support structure attachment. Partially raise the wheel.
Figure 91.
3. Before the tire is completely off the ground, loosen the wheel nuts.
7. Torque the wheel nuts to 450-500 ft.-lbs using the criss-cross sequence shown (Figure 90.).
Re-torque wheel nuts after 100 miles.

Drive Axle
1. Run the inflated tire up onto the run-up block. Stop the coach and apply the parking brake.
The wheel and tire assemblies weigh more than 200 lbs. (90 Kg). Use caution when loosening the wheel nuts, and when lifting the wheel off the hub.
4. Raise the wheel completely, remove the run-up block, and remove the wheel nuts and the wheel and tire assemblies as required.
The drive axle wheel nuts are hub mounted: the wheel nuts hold both the outer and inner wheels. Take care when removing the nuts and tire assemblies.
5. Ensure that both wheels are properly seated on the hub pilot before tightening the nuts fully. Torque wheel nuts to 450-500 ft.-lbs using the criss-cross sequence shown in Figure 90.

FUELING
Two diesel (ULSD) fuel fillers are installed on the coach. One is located behind a filler door in the fuel tank compartment door on the curbside and the second location is on the roadside behind a filler door in the A/C condenser door (Figures 92 and 93).
Figure 92. Diesel (ULSD) Fuel Door
Diesel Fuel Specification
Engines must comply with EPA mandated low emission guidelines by using ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) fuel.
Failure to use ULSD fuel in 2015 EPA engines will result in component damage.
Biodiesel not to exceed B20.
Diesel Exhaust Fuel (DEF) Specification
DEF must meet ISO standard 22241-1.
AUXILIARY HEATER
The auxiliary heater is located in the left rear of the engine compartment. The auxiliary heater turns on automatically to augment the temperature of engine coolant for coach heating.
Figure 93. A/C Condenser Door
The fuel tank is equipped with a whistle that stops
when the tank is full. Close filler and latch it securely.
Do not fill the tank from both necks at once or have both fill caps open; the tank will over-fill and overflow.
DO NOT put anything but DEF in the DEF tank ( blue cap ).
One diesel exhaust fuel (DEF) filler door is next to
the curbside diesel (ULSD) filler door ().
To preheat the coolant or test the heater, turn the auxiliary heater ON with the AUX HEAT switch.
Auxiliary Heater Diagnostics
The operator can identify function and component diagnostics by checking the light bars or number display located on the front of the control module.

FLUID REPLACEMENT
Engine Lubricating Oil
The engine oil dipstick is accessible through the rear engine access door (Figure 100.). Always check the engine oil level with:
the engine at normal operating temperature
the coach on level ground
the engine OFF.
NOTE: Leave the engine stopped for at least 5 minutes. Do not overfill.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then withdraw it and read the oil level. If it is down to LOW mark, add sufficient oil to bring the level up to FULL mark.
Power Steering Fluid
The coach has a power steering fluid reservoir in the engine compartment (Figure 100.). The reservoir has a filler nozzle, sight glass and vent tube. The correct cold level is at the center of the sight glass. (Use the dipstick in the fill cap for hot level checks.) Check levels periodically and add if necessary.
Do not spill oil on the fan belts. The oil will cause the belt material to degrade rapidly and break.
Automatic Transmission Fluid - Allison
Refer to the heading “Transmission Operation” ­Allison Automatic Transmission - Transmission Fluid Level Checks, for the dipstick location and transmission fluid specifications.
Figure 96.
All fluids must be handled, stored and maintained according to the instructions on the “Waste Fluid Removal” decal. The decal is located in the rear engine compartment (Figure 97.).
Windshield Washer Reservoir
The windshield washer reservoir is in the front service compartment (Figure 96.).
Figure 97.

LAVATORY TANK SERVICE PROCEDURES
Refer to local health regulations for proper disposal procedures and equipment. Lavatory waste must be disposed of according to the instructions on the “Lavatory Waste” decal. The decal is located on the inside of the curbside rear service door (Figure 98.).
Figure 99.
Charging the Lavatory Tank
Figure 98.
Draining the Lavatory Tank
1. Position the coach over a suitable sanitary sewage drain.
2. Open the dump valves (2.) and drain the tanks completely.
3. Connect a water hose to the rinse connection.
4. Close the upper dump valve and fill the upper tank.
5. Press the flush button for 30 sec on ds (if the coach has a flush toilet).
6. Open the dump valve and drain the tank.
7. Repeat Steps 1 to 5 until the discharged water appears clean.
1. Close both dump valves and fill the primary tank with water to one-third sight glass level.
Do not allow the lavatory chemicals to contact your skin.
2. Add approved chemical charge to the tank.
3. If the coach has a flush toilet, test.
