General notes on driving
G
WARNING
If you switch off the ignition while the vehicle
is in motion, safety-relevant functions are
restricted or not available. This can affect the
power steering function and the brake boost-
ing effect, for example. You will then require
considerably more force to steer and brake.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while the vehicle
is in motion.
G
WARNING
The parking brake may not be sufficient to
secure the vehicle on uphill and downhill gra-
dients. A loaded vehicle or a vehicle with
trailer/semitrailer may roll away. There is a
risk of an accident.
In the control position, check whether the
parking brake alone can hold the entire vehi-
cle. The tractor unit and trailer/semitrailer
should normally be secured using the parking
brake and wheel chocks.
G
WARNING
If you load the vehicle unevenly, driving char-
acteristics such as steering and braking
behaviour may be severely impaired. There is
a risk of an accident.
Load the vehicle evenly. Secure the load so
that it cannot slip.
The vehicle's driving, braking and steering char-
acteristics vary with the type, weight and centre
of gravity of the load.
Parts required for vehicle transfer
The following parts required during vehicle
transfer are also assembly parts required by
the body manufacturer:
Additional pipe on the exhaust pipe
:
Adapter connection for recess heating
;
Tail pipe attachment for recess heating on
=
the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit
After vehicle delivery, the parts required during
vehicle transfer must be removed and stored
safely.
If the vehicle is transferred again without the
body, the tail pipe attachment for recess heating
must be refitted onto the exhaust gas after-
treatment unit. This prevents dust and water
entering the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit.
