DRIVING TIPS
PARKING
Parking
When you stop to park there are several
things you should think about:
Avoid Idling
The truck does not need to run at idling
speed before driving off. Warm up the
engine at low engine speeds. Avoid
idling during normal driving as well.
Idling normally accounts for 5-6% of
total fuel consumption, of which 50-80%
is unnecessary idling.
Hard Driving
After a lot of hard driving you should
allow the engine to run at idling speed
for several minutes while stationary
before switching it off in order to reduce
exhaust temperature.
DEF Fluid
When driving in colder climates 0 °C
(32 °F), idle for at least 90 seconds
before turning the vehicle off. This will
ensure that all DEF Fluid has exited the
system.
Hot Tires
Tires may become hot after driving long
distances. This can create a hazard
when parking on inclines in wintery
conditions if the tires melt the surface
underneath to form ice, leading a vehicle
to slide. To avoid, park on a level road
surface under wintery conditions.
