80 Starting and Driving

Checking Before Driving

Before starting the bus and driving off,
check the sensitive edges on the doors. If
the door leaf during opening encounters an
obstacle, the door should stop. If the door
leaf encounters an obstacle during closing,
the door should open again. It should not be
possible to open the doors by hand while the
engine is running.
WARNING
Make sure that the sensitive edges on the
door work prior to vehicle use. Failure
to do so may lead to personal injury of
passengers.
Make sure that:
•
all hatches are closed
•
all the lighting is working properly
•
the windscreen wipers/washers are
working properly
•
safety equipment is in place
•
the direction indicators and horn are
working properly

(using a hammer) and nothing has got
stuck between the back twin wheels.
•
destination information and line number
are correct
•
the emergency opening system for the
doors is working properly.
•
all emergency windows and roof hatches
are properly closed
