5 Operation of EFAS – Driver and Co-Driver
5.1

Before Starting

Before starting your trip, you must insert your driver card into the left-hand slot (with chip side up). Your card will
be read. Your name, the date and the time of your last card withdrawal will be displayed.
Next, the display shows the question "Complete manual inputs?" If so, select YES with the control keys,
press OK and follow the instructions in section 5.5. If you do not want to complete your activities, select NO with
the control keys and press OK. Subsequently, select the country where your working day begins. Use the control
keys to select the country code and press OK.
If a co-driver is present, he must insert his driver card into the right-hand slot and conduct the same procedure.
When the co-driver takes over the vehicle, the cards must be exchanged so that the driver-card of the person
operating the vehicle is always in the left-hand slot.
5.2

Automatic Settings

The digital tachograph EFAS makes a number of automatic settings.
y Whenever the vehicle starts driving, the digital tachograph automatically changes to driving time for the
driver and to availability for the co-driver.
y Whenever the vehicle stops, the digital tachograph EFAS automatically changes to work period for the
driver. If less than 2 minutes pass between stopping and re-starting, the digital tachograph cancels the
automatic change from driving time to work period.
y Whenever the ignition is turned off, EFAS is able to change automatically to a programmed driver activity,
see also chapter 6.

Time Zones

Since your vehicle may move within different time zones, all logs and entries are in UTC time. UTC time is a
standardised world time without daylight saving time. Printouts can be based either on UTC time or local time.
However, only printouts in UTC-time are compliant with legal requirements. For the sake of simplicity, times are
often entered in local time.
If you have set the time zone correctly for EFAS, the digital tachograph displays the local time on all standard
displays during the journey. This is shown by the so called "time dot" (e.g. 17:23  ) which is displayed after the time
(contrastingly, with UTC time no such "time dot" is displayed). Whenever a time entry is required, please check
whether the system requires UTC time or local time.
In most central European countries, UTC time during the winter is one hour earlier than local time. In the winter,
one hour has to be deducted from local time to calculate UTC time. In the summer, two hours have to be deducted
from local time to calculate UTC time.
