Master safety switch (emergency-off switch

Master safety switch (emergencyoff switch)

Danger.

Risk of accident. The emergency-off switch should not be operated except in an emergency and only with the bus stationary - never while the bus is in motion. Operating the emergency-off switch causes the engine to switch off automatically. The power steering would consequently be disabled if the bus were in motion. Additional effort would then be required in order to steer. Furthermore, the power supply to all important electrical consumers (e.g. bus lighting, ABS, electronic transmission shift system, etc.) would be interrupted. The roadworthiness of the bus is at risk. Driver's area controls
