Master safety switch (emergency-
off switch)
When master safety switch (1) is oper-
ated, a running engine is switched off
and the power supply for the bus is in-
terrupted. The hazard warning lamps re-
main functional. Activate the emergency-
off switch by pressing the red knob. Un-
lock the switch by turning the red knob
anti-clockwise.
Danger.
Risk of accident. The emergency-off
switch should not be operated except
in an emergency and only with the bus
stationary - never while the bus is in
motion. Operating the emergency-off
switch causes the engine to switch
off automatically. The power steering
would consequently be disabled if the
bus were in motion. Additional effort
would then be required in order to steer.
Furthermore, the power supply to all
important electrical consumers (e.g. bus
lighting, ABS, electrical transmission shift
system, etc.) would be interrupted. The
roadworthiness of the bus is at risk.
Note:
There may be additional functions avail-
able, depending on the national variant.
Note:
In Finland, Greece, Spain and Italy, the
hazard warning lamps and interior lighting
are switched on automatically. The cent-
ral locking is ready for operation (ECE-R
36).
Note:
In France, the hazard warning lamps are
ready for operation.
Note:
In Norway, the hazard warning lamps,
interior lighting, auxiliary heating (water
heater) and horn are ready for operation.
Note:
In Poland, the hazard warning lamps are
switched on automatically.
Note:
In Austria, operating the emergency-off
switch switches off the engine and inter-
rupts the supply of power to the entire
electrical system.
