grab handles with your hands. See

Exiting the Driver Side
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to exit the cab
while carrying any items in your hands. Place
them in an accessible location on the seat or
cab floor and make sure they will not get in your
way as you exit, then retrieve them after you
have exited the cab.
CAUTION
Always face in when exiting the cab. Do not at-
tempt to exit with your back to the cab, as you
would going down a flight of stairs. It is easier to
slip or lose your balance. If you slip when exiting
in this way, there is a greater likelihood of per-
sonal injury.

and the A-pillar grab handle with your left hand,
and place your left foot on the top step. See
Fig. 2.3 .

handle with your right hand.

foot, grasping the grab handles lower as you
move down.

thing that you are carrying in the cab.
