Tips for winter driving
Use winter fuel! It reduces the
risk of deposits in the fuel sys-
tem. The build up of condensa-
tion in the fuel tank can be
avoided by keeping the fuel
tank well filled.
Oils must have the correct vis-
cosity for winter use in order to
provide adequate lubrication
even in cold weather.
The cooling system must be
treated with antifreeze. This
must also include the wind-
screen and headlamp washer
reservoirs.
The battery should be in good
condition. Cold reduces the
capacity of the batteries.
If abnormal exhaust smoke
occurs, after-heat the en-
gine by pressing the cold
start button.
Depress the accelerator
carefully when pulling
away in case there are ice
patches. The reverse gear
differential can be dam-
aged if one of the drive
wheels spins.
There is no risk of this hap-
pening on buses with ASR.
They pull away with ”nor-
mal” acceleration. The
ASR system will make sure
the bus has optimum grip.
Does your bus have differ-
ential lock? See page 32
for how it is used.
