that you will not endanger any vehicle that might be following you. Opera!
your brakes especially gently when the road is wet or covered with ice a
locked wheels will result in skidding.
When driving downhill, make use of the braking capacity of the engine com-
pression by shifting to the gear which you would use in driving up-hill. You
will attain a higher degree of safety and at the same time you will save and
preserve the brakes if you use them only to control the speed occasionally
T
he ignition must never be switched off when going downhill.
STOPPING
THE VEHICLE
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes gently. Shortly
before the vehicle comes to a full stop, depress the clutch pedal and place
the gear lever in neutral. The engine continues to idle.
If you wish to switch off the engine, merely turn the ignition key to the left.
On vehicles with the steering-ignition
lock, it is important to remember not
to withdraw the ignition key until the vehicle is stationary as the steering is
locked when the key is in the "Haft" position.
MISTED WINDOWS
will greatly reduce visibility. This is brought about by the humidity from the
passengers' breath in the car and a low outside temperature. By using the
vent windows intelligently sufficient fresh air can be provided while the used
air is sucked out. Not only will the windows remain clear but so will your
head.
THE CAB SEATS
are divided into an adjustable driver's seat and a seat bench. The driver's
seat can be adjusted longitudinally,
even when the vehicle is in motion, by
lifting the adjusting lever and sliding the seat forward or backward until the
best position is obtained. After adjusting, ensure that the lever engages
properly so that the seat does not slide unintentionally
while driving.
The angle of the back rest can be altered by turning
the two adjusting
screws.
T
he seat bench can be tipped forward and taken out easily.
