Reading the driver's handbook
Read through the driver's handbook
before driving the bus for the first time. It
is important for the safety of the
passengers and other road users, as
well as maintaining the bus in working
condition.
The contents of this driver's handbook
are determined by the equipment, the
systems and the functions of the bus (so-
called chassis control). The bus' chassis
number is printed at the bottom of each
page. Due to the chassis control the
driver's handbook applies specifically for
the bus with this chassis number, and it
should be stored in the bus to which it
belongs.
The table of contents at the beginning of
the handbook provides an overview of
the chapter structure and contents. The
alphabetical index at the back, allows for
searching directly by specific
characteristics or functions.
