The System Guide for Awnings and Slideouts instructs you to "press and hold" the control button while extending or retracting your awning. This is the same advice I was given during our orientation. I found that I would often overshoot the mark, and the awning would start to retract backwards.
The Carefree Latitude owners manual (which was NOT provided with our coach) clearly states you should press and RELEASE the button. If you do this, the awning will automatically extend or retract and stop at exactly the right spot.
I realize this is not a make or break issue, but the point is that you don't know what you don't know, and I'm not sure you can trust these system guides to contain accurate information. My advice would be to always check the manufacturers manual first...

That automatic awning isn't on all coaches. For our awning you have to hold the switch down to extend or retract it. If you "let go" the awning stops.
