Mystery switch (1 Viewer)

[Teuchter]

Reading Annes thread on what the switch on her motorhome was for reminded me of the push switch on my Ducatto based Knaus for which I have no idea of the function.
It is situated directly above the gear selector and as I bought the van new this year it must be an "original" fit
Any ideas??

Do you have a Comformatic gearbox? If so it's the 'up' button which holds the gear for longer to make it easier to climb hills.

Manual or Comformatic gearbox ? If Comformatic it could be the switch to use for steep uphill starts, it stops the gearbox changing to early keeping it in a low gear for longer.
Cheers
(edit)Ditto
It can also be used for engine braking on steep downhills.

Yep - it's the 'Up' button. Have a look in the Comformatic manual for details of when to use it. I find it very useful.

Thanks Bill and Edd & Shirley - If all else fails - read the manual!! - however in this case I did read the section of the manual dealing with "cockpit Controls" but no mention of it there - I will now consult the comformatic section - thanks again

@Teuchter - it's not in the main manual - I have a separate Comformatic manual that is definitely worth reading as there are some useful warnings in there!

No No, it's for when you are transporting an ink bottle and you don't want to tip it while boarding a West Highland ferry, if you are going up hill on the ramp you switch it on and if you are reversing onboard you switch it down. Come on, it's obvious

Think its a self leveling switch
