SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Page 9

Whenever parking your Rampvan

and before utilizing Rampvan

features, always engage the ve-

hicle transmission in Park “P” and

engage the vehicle parking brake.

The vehicle transmission must

be engaged in Park “P,” before

operating the Rampvan automatic

features. Rampvan power func-

tion control switches cannot be

activated if the vehicle transmis-

sion is not in Park.

“Kneeling” is the lowering motion

of the Rampvan electromechanical

rear suspension. The term “De-

ploy” indicates the lowering motion

of the ramp to the deployed posi-

tion. “Stow” is the raising motion

of the ramp to the vertical (stowed)

position.

The terms “Open” and “Close”

refer to sequences of power func-

tions that will occur when acti-

vated by the One-Touch electronic

control system. When activating

the Open functions, the power

door opens, the kneel system

lowers the rear of the vehicle and

the ramp unfolds. When activating

Close functions, the ramp folds,

the kneel system raises the rear

of the vehicle and the power door

closes.

2QH7RXFK&RQWURO6\VWHP

Rampvan power functions are

managed by a One-Touch elec-

tronic control system. The control

system can be activated using the

Toyota remote keyless entry trans-

mitter or any one of the controls

addressed on pages 10-12.

Do not attempt to interface

aftermarket control systems.

Kneeling is the lowering motion of

the Rampvan electro-mechanical

rear suspension. The kneel sys-

tem lowers the rear of the vehicle.

Lowering the rear of the vehicle

reduces the slope of the ramp.

.QHHO2Q2II)HDWXUHA Kneel

On/Off feature is incorporated into

the One-Touch electronic control

system. This feature provides

the option of kneeling the ve-

hicle when operating the power

door and power ramp. The Kneel

On/Off switch must be in the ON

position in order for the kneeling

system to be activated (see photo

at right). See page 12 for addi-

tional Kneel On/Off switch details.

The kneel system is automatically

activated by the One-Touch elec-

tronic control system.

When a control switch is pressed

to start the Open functions, the

power door opens, the kneel sys-

tem lowers the rear of the vehicle

and the ramp deploys.

When the Close functions are acti-

vated, the vehicle starts to raise at

the same time the ramp starts to

retract (stow).

Note: If the Rampvan is in the

kneeled position and the vehicle

is shifted out of Park, the vehicle

will raise and you will hear a very

rapid pulsing tone (cricket tone).

.QHHO2YHUULGH)HDWXUHV

In the event the Rampvan is in the

kneeled position and you experi-

ence power or equipment failure,

an electrical override and a me-

chanical override are available to

raise the rear of the vehicle. The

vehicle cannot be lowered using

override features.

Use the Electrical Override Switch

if possible (details at right). The

rear of the vehicle can be raised

using the mechanical override

if there is an electrical problem

(manual procedures). See Kneel

Mechanical Override on next page.

Do not drive the Rampvan with the

rear of the vehicle in the lowered

position. Attempting to do so will

result in an extremely rough and

unstable ride.

In the event of a kneel system

failure, have the kneel system

repaired immediately. Contact

your sales representative or

call The Braun Corporation at

1-800-THE LIFT

. One of our

national Product Support rep-

resentatives will direct you to

an authorized service center.

able to electrically power the

kneel system direct (by-pass-
