Operation

Driving

Danger.

Never lock the steering when the bus is moving. If you leave the bus, even for a short time, always remove the key so that the bus cannot be started by children or other unauthorised persons.

Caution:

It is not permitted to increase the engine speed while the “Oil pressure too low” symbol is shown on the display screen. If the “Oil pressure too low” symbol appears for more than 10 seconds, turn off the engine immediately and establish the cause.

Environmental protection

Never warm up the engine while the bus is stationary. Instead, drive off and run the engine at moderate speeds.

Note:

The engine should only ever be placed under full load once the normal operating temperature has been reached (75 °C to 90 °C depending on operating conditions and the outside temperature).

Danger.

All doors must be unlocked before the bus is driven off.

Danger.

The freedom of movement of the pedals must not be restricted. The operating safety and roadworthiness of the bus would otherwise be at risk. Objects could fall and get caught between the pedals if you accelerate or brake suddenly, with the result that you would no longer be able to brake, depress the clutch pedal or accelerate. You could cause an accident and put yourself and other people in danger.

Check the freedom of movement of the pedals

Danger.

Where floormats and carpets are fitted, ensure that they are safely secured against slipping and that there is sufficient space for the pedals.

Danger.

Do not put any objects in the driver's footwell.

Danger.

Stow and secure all loose objects in such a way that they cannot get into the driver's footwell when the bus is in motion.

Observe the rev counter (option) while driving.

Note:

Keep within the economical operating range. Make sure that the engine speed does not enter the danger zone (red zone). Operation
