In case of fire
Fire protection system
In case of fire
The symbol above flashes in the driver
information display and an alarm sounds.
Follow these steps:
1 Shut off the engine.
2 Evacuate the vehicle.
3 Turn off the main power switch.
4 Keep the engine compartment hatch
closed for at least five more min.
5 If necessary, use handheld fire
extinguishers.
6 Contact service personnel.
After a fire
The alarm sounds until authorised
service personnel cancels it.
CAUTION
Determine the cause of fire and ensure it
is seen to before starting the vehicle anew.
The bus is equipped with a fire
extinguishing system, which is fully
automatic and uses water mist to
extinguish the fire. The system is
activated through a hydro pneumatic
system and can operate without
electricity. When a fire is detected, water
mist is sprayed over the fire to lower the
temperature and push the air away.
Depending on the bus engine bay size,
the system contains one, two or three
extinguisher fluid bottles.
The bus is equipped with an extra nozzle
positioned by the auxiliary heater. Make
sure to check the pressure during the
daily maintenance.
Low-pressure indication
If the pressure is too low in any of the
containers, an alarm signal sounds and
the red stop lamp is illuminated in the
instrument cluster together with the
symbol in the driver information display.
Contact service personnel for support.
