2.3.1 Emergency equipment
To be prepared in case of an emergency, you should always
carry the three emergency devices on board and familiarize
yourself with them.
First-aid kit
The rst-aid kit should always be at hand and have a xed
position in your van. Any objects removed from the rst-aid
kit should be replaced immediately. Expiry dates should be
checked regularly.
Reective jacket*
In acc. with EN 471, we recommend that you carry and wear
a reective jacket with white retro-reective stripes whenever
you leave the vehicle on open roads and emergency strips.
The driver must put on this warning vest when the vehicle
• comes to a stop outside city limits on an obscure rural road
because of an accident or breakdown, if the view is poor
due to bad weather, in twilight or darkness, or
• when it must be secured by means of a warning triangle
on the emergency strip of the engineway because of an
accident or breakdown.
Warning triangle
The warning triangle should also always be at hand and have
a xed position in your van, preferably together with the rst-
aid kit.
In an emergency
• Set up the warning triangle at least 100 m in front of the
danger zone!
