3.1 Selecting the chassis
In order to ensure safe operation of the vehicle, it is
essential to choose the chassis and equipment care-
fully in accordance with the intended use.
Along with the selection of the correct vehicle version,
the required series and special equipment such as
•Axle ratio
• Position of the center of gravity
• Legal registration requirements
(e.g. Underrun protection)
• Permissible and technical gross vehicle weight
should be taken into consideration and be appropriate
for the intended use.
<Vehicle with LDWS> (lane departure warning system)
LDWS may be disabled in the following cases:
• Any item which interferes with the camera’s field of
view exists near the camera.
• Any equipment (snowplough, etc.) is attached in
front of the vehicle.
! Property damage
When planning attachments, bodies, equipment or
modification work, the selected vehicle must be
checked to verify whether it fulfils the necessary
requirements.
! Property damage
Observe the Model. The axle designation or the load
capacity of the tires has only limited relevance to
the gross weight of the vehicle.
