Mercedes-Benz TRAVEGO User manual

Introduction
The user information supplied with
each bus is intended for use only
by persons who are qualified to
operate the bus. The user
information is split into the
following parts:
The Driver's Operating Instructions
are intended to answer all import-
ant questions concerning operation
of the bus in a concise and clearly
understandable manner.
More detailed and complete inform-
ation, as well as further information
relevant to safety, can be found in
the Operating Instructions.
The Maintenance Record serves as
a guide to the technical care of the
bus. It contains all the information
on maintenance intervals and main-
tenance tasks as well as pages for
confirming that the maintenance
work has been carried out.
Please consult the “Safety” section be-
fore starting up the bus for the first
time, and familiarise yourself with the
contents of these Operating Instructions
before setting off.
Items of optional equipment are also de-
scribed, if their operation needs explana-
tion. The bus delivered to you has been
customised in accordance with your or-
der, therefore some descriptions and
diagrams may differ from the equipment
on your bus.
The Driver's Operating Instructions, the
Operating Instructions and the Mainten-
ance Record are important documents
and must always be carried in the bus.
Our buses are the subject of ongoing
development. You are therefore asked
to appreciate that we reserve the right
to make modifications to the design,
equipment and technical features. For
these reasons, no claims can be made
based upon the contents of this user
information.
Environmental protection
The declared policy of EvoBus GmbH
is one of integrated environmental pro-
tection. This policy starts at the root
causes and encompasses in its manage-
ment decisions all the consequences for
the environment which could arise from
production processes or the products
themselves.
The objectives are for the natural re-
sources which form the basis of our ex-
istence on this planet to be used spar-
ingly and in a manner which takes the
requirements of both nature and human-
ity into account.
Operate your vehicle in an environment-
ally responsible manner and you will help
to protect the environment. Fuel con-
sumption and wear in the drive train (en-
gine, clutch, transmission, axles, brakes,
tyres) are extremely dependent on your
driving style.
We hope you enjoy driving your bus.

We recommend that you:
Use only genuine parts that are
OMNIplus quality tested and con-
version parts and accessories that
have been expressly approved by
EvoBus for the bus model concerned
in order to rule out the possibility
of jeopardising road safety and
invalidating the warranty and general
operating permit. These parts have
been specially tested for their safety,
reliability and suitability.
You can obtain further information from
any OMNIplus Service Partner.
Operating safety
Important information:
Any work or modifications that have
been carried out incorrectly on the

Tampering with electronic compon-
ents and their software may cause
malfunctions. As electronic compon-
ents are networked, these malfunc-
4TRAVEGO / TRAVEGO M / TRAVEGO L (Euro VI)/07.2014 GB

Safety
General safety information
tions may also cause other, indir-
ectly related systems to malfunction.
These malfunctions may jeopardise
the operating safety and reliability of
the bus.
Retrofitted electrical or electronic
devices must possess type-approval
complying with Directive 95/54/EC
or ECE Directive 10/02.
Materials that are fitted in the bus
during the course of installation, con-
version or modification work and
that are subject to mandatory fire-
testing requirements must satis-
fy the requirements of EU Directive
95/28/EC.
Materials and components of seats
and seat fixtures that are also fitted
in the bus during the course of in-
stallation, conversion or modification
work must satisfy the requirements
of the following directives: 76/
115/EEC as amended by 96/38/EC,
74/408/EEC as amended by 96/
37/EC, 77/541/EEC as amended by
96/36/EC.
At the time of purchase or installa-
tion, it must be checked that these
materials and components have been
certified accordingly. The use of ma-
terials or components that have not
been granted the relevant certificate
may result in the operating permit
being invalidated.
We recommend that you have work
or modifications carried out by an
OMNIplus Service Partner.
EU Directive 2001/85
Registration as class 1: city bus
Vehicles constructed with areas for
standing passengers, to allow fre-
quent passenger movement.
Registration as class 2: interurban bus
Principally for the carriage of seated
passengers. Designed to allow the
carriage of standing passengers in
the gangway and/or in an area which
does not exceed the space provided
for two double seats.
Registration as class 3: tourist coach
Exclusively for the carriage of seated
passengers.
Important information for buses clas-
sified in accordance with EU Directive
2001/85 into class 2 and 3 (mixed ap-
proval):
Note:
The operator of the bus is responsible for
ensuring that the bus is restored to the
condition consistent with the permissible
type of operation of the class concerned.
Note:
For instance, this means that, in the case
of a bus being used in accordance with
class 2, it is necessary to ensure that the
bus is operated with seating having no
aisle-side sideways adjustment.

Safety
General safety information
Navigation and global positioning
system
If your bus is equipped with a navigation
system, please observe the following
instructions and information:
Danger.
Please devote your attention primarily to
road and traffic conditions. Do not at-
tempt to operate the navigation and pos-
itioning system unless the bus is station-
ary. Please bear in mind that your bus
will cover a distance of 14 metres every
second at a speed of only 50 km/h. The
navigation system is unable to take into
consideration the maximum load-bear-
ing capacity of bridges or the required
headroom clearance for underpasses.
The driver is responsible for checking the
load-bearing capacity of bridges and head-
room clearances encountered en route.
Operation of radio and mobile
communications equipment
(e.g. telephone, two-way radio, fax ma-
chine, etc.)
Danger.
Please devote your attention primarily
to road and traffic conditions. Do not
operate the display unit, radio or mobile
communications equipment unless the
traffic situation permits this to be done
safely. Please bear in mind that your bus
will cover a distance of 14 metres every
second at a speed of only 50 km/h.
Danger.
Please observe local legal requirements
governing the use of mobile phones or
on-board telephones/intercoms in force in
the country of vehicle operation.
Operation of mobile phones and
two-way radios without an exterior
aerial
We advise against making or receiving
telephone calls in buses not equipped
with an exterior aerial as the operation
of radio transmitters, which include but
are not limited to radio telephones (mo-
bile phones), may cause inadequately
shielded equipment (cardiac pacemakers
included) to malfunction.
Note:
If a mobile phone, radio system or fax
machine is retrofitted in the bus in a
manner that does not comply with EvoBus
installation specifications, the operating
permit for the bus could be invalidated
(EU Directive 95/54/EC).
Note:
Older peripherals (e.g. ticket-printing ma-
chines, ticket-cancelling machines, destin-
ation displays, etc.) that are still used in
new buses must comply with the technic-
al requirements of EC Directive 72/245
EEC.
Danger.
Please observe local legal requirements
governing the use of mobile phones or
on-board telephones/intercoms in force in
the country of vehicle operation.

General safety information
Stickers
There are various warning stickers af-
fixed to your bus. These are intended to
make you and others aware of various
dangers. Therefore, do not remove any
warning stickers unless it is expressly
stated on the sticker that you may do
so.
Danger.
If you remove warning stickers, this could
result in you or other persons failing to
recognise dangers. You or others could
be injured as a result.
Saved data in vehicle
A large number of electronic components
of your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories save temporary or
permanent technical information on
Vehicle condition
Events
Fault
This technical information generally
documents the condition of a
component, a module, a system or the
environment. These are, for example:
Operating modes of system compon-
ents. These include, for example, fill
levels.
Status messages of the vehicle and
of its individual components. These
include, for example, wheel speed/
speed, movement deceleration, lat-
eral acceleration, throttle pedal posi-
tion.
Malfunctions and defects in import-
ant system components. These in-
clude, for example, light, brakes.
Reactions and operating modes of
the vehicle in special driving situ-
ations. These include, for example,
triggering of an airbag and use of the
stability control systems.
Environmental conditions. These in-
clude, for example, the outside tem-
perature.
The data are exclusively of a technical
nature and can be used to
to support the detection and elimina-
tion of errors and defects,
to analyse vehicle functions, e.g. fol-
lowing an accident,
to optimise vehicle functions.
Movement profiles over distances driven
cannot be put together from these data.
If you make use of services, they can
read technical information out of the
event and error data memories.
Services are, for example
Repair services
Service processes
Warranty cases
Quality assurance
Reading out is carried out by employ-
ees of the service network (including
manufacturers) using special diagnost-
ic devices. You can obtain additional
information there if necessary. Follow-
ing troubleshooting, the information in
the fault memory is deleted or continu-

ally overwritten. When using the vehicle,
situations are imaginable in which these
technical data in conjunction with other
information could be linked to individual
persons - if necessary with the assist-
ance of an expert.
Examples of this include:
Accident reports
Damage to the vehicle
Testimonies of witnesses
Other additional functions which are
agreed upon contractually with the
customer also permit the transmission of
certain vehicle data from the vehicle.
These include, for example, the

Washing the outside of the bus in
an automatic vehicle wash
M88_00-0004-01
Before the bus is washed, make sure
that the roof hatches, driver's window
and the doors are closed. Set the heat-
ing/ventilation/air-conditioning system
to air-recirculation mode (Smog button).
Before the bus is washed, fold both in-
tegral mirrors inwards towards the wind-
screen by means of the hinge pin on the
mirror arm.
After the washing process, fold the integ-
ral mirrors outwards again.
Remove any attachment parts that may
be fitted (e.g. satellite receiver on the
roof) before the bus is washed.
