templeandgary Report post Posted June 4, 2019 Hello, I have a question that may sound totally stupid but its been bugging me. I just bought a new Entegra Motorhome and coming from a Fifth Wheel I am still very green and learning. My question is about the Parking Brake and the warning signal. When I start the engine and prepare to shift into Drive I step on the brake, release the parking brake and select the drive option. My concern is that as soon as i release the parking brake the warning buzzer starts going off. As soon as i select drive it goes away. Is this the way its supposed to work? I would think that as long as my foot is on the brake pedal I wouldn't have to deal with the buzzer in between the Parking brake and selecting drive. Makes me feel like I have to rush and hurry after releasing the brake and selecting drive. If this is normal than thats fine but I was hoping for some validation that I was doing things correct and there were no issues with the rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 4, 2019 I put mine in drive first, then release PB...my foot is just above brake, should I need it. Make sure that your air pressure is at max and there is no beeping, before releasing PB. There should be no warning signal at all. If it persists, take it back to dealer or call Entegra!

templeandgary Report post Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks Manholt. I did a little more research and found this in my owners manual. Looks like anytime the trans is in neutral and the parking brake is not applied there will be a buzzer and anytime the vehicle is in drive and the parking brake is still applied there will be a buzzer. Looks like I will just have to get used to it between changing from park to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ours does the same, if the coach is in neutral and you release the parking brake with your foot off of the service brake pedal the alarm sounds. I.e. you cannot coast the coach in neutral without the alarm sounding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 4, 2019 Joe, that's correct, but it should not buzz with coach in N or D and PB on with engine running! I have to put Tranny in N and PB on, to open door! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like it doesn't realize you have the service brake depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can leave it in Neutral with the PB on and it stops but when I have it in Neutral and release the PB even with my foot on the auxiliary break it starts buzzing. Maybe I have to press harder or maybe this is the way it’s supposed to function but I’ll take the advice below and make sure my brake lights are functioning for sure!

five Report post Posted June 4, 2019 These coaches are all different. If I release the brake and select "D" I will get a chirping sound if the Travel light on the Valid is flashing and not solid green in the full "travel" mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
