Operation
Drive mode
The speed must be appropriate to the local
conditions.
For example, the driver must drive slowly
around corners, in tight passageways, when
driving through swing-doors, at blind spots or
on uneven roadways.
The driver must always maintain a safe
braking distance from vehicles and persons
in front and always have the vehicle under
control. He must avoid stopping suddenly,
turning at speed and overtaking in dangerous
places or in blind spots.
– Initial driving practice must be carried out in
an empty space or on a clear roadway.
The following are forbidden when driving:
• Allowing arms and legs to hang outside the
truck
• Leaning the body over the outer contour of
the truck
• Climbing out of the truck
• Moving the driver's seat
• Adjusting the steering column
• Releasing the seat belt (variant)
• To disable the restraint system (variant)
• Using electronic devices, for example
radios, mobile phones etc.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the drive direction and
have a sufficient view of the driving lane.
The driver must be sure that the driving lane is
clear, particularly for reverse travel.
If this is not possible, then a second person
acting as a guide must walk in front of the
truck.
In this case, the driver must only move at
walking pace and with extra care. The truck
must be stopped immediately if eye contact
with the guide is lost.
Rear-view mirrors are only to be used for
observing the road area behind the truck and
not for reverse travel. If visual aids (mirror,
monitor) are required to achieve sufficient
visibility, it is necessary to practise using them.
