Driving tips
Driving in cold weather
• The coolant in the cooling system
must have the correct admixture of
concentrated antifreeze.
• Check that the radiator and the grill
on the hatch to the radiator are free
from snow and ice.
• The washer fluid tank must be filled
with winter washer fluid.
• Fill the tanks with winter fuel, which
reduces the risk of paraffin formation
in the fuel system. If this has already
occurred, replace the fuel filters and
fill the tanks with winter fuel.
• The compressed air system is
sensitive to low temperatures. If
there is a lot of condensation water in
the primary tank, drain the tank and
replace the air drier desiccant
cartridge.
Power steering
If the wheels are blocked laterally,
against a kerb for example, drive forward
and turn the steering wheel carefully so
the vehicle moves away from the kerb.
Never force the wheels to turn.
CAUTION
Making the bus turn by forcing the steering
wheel can lead to a damaged oil pump.
If the power steering is out of order for
some reason and it feels like the steering
gear has locked up, the vehicle can still
be steered if the steering wheel is turned
with some pressure.
Disconnected accelerator
pedal
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
(or applies the parking brake) and the
accelerator pedal at the same time, the
accelerator pedal will not function.
On condition the speed is higher than 5
km/h, the accelerator is disconnected
and remains so until both the brake and
accelerator pedals are released
completely.
A symbol is shown in the display for as
long as the accelerator pedal is
disonnected.
