Testing and activities before daily use
Seat belt
DANGER
Even when using an approved
restraint system, there is some
residual risk that the driver might be
injured if the truck tips over.
This risk of injury can be reduced
through the combined use of the
restraint system and the seat belt.
In addition, the seat belt protects
against the consequences of rear-end
collisions and falling off a ramp.
– We therefore recommend that you
also use the seat belt.
DANGER
Only bracket doors (variant) or the driver's cab
(variant) with closed, fixed doors constitute a driver
restraint system. Plastic doors (weather protection)
do not constitute a restraint system!
If you need to open or remove the doors, you must
use an alternative suitable restraint system (e.g. a
seat belt).

Fastening the seat belt
DANGER
Risk to life when driving without a seat belt!
If the truck tips over or crashes into an obstacle
and the driver is not wearing the seat belt, the driver
may be thrown from the truck. The driver could slide
under the truck or collide with an obstacle.
There is a risk of fatal injury!
– Fasten the seat belt before every trip.
– Do not twist the seat belt when fastening it.
– Only use the seat belt to secure one person.
– Have any malfunctions repaired by the authori-
sed service centre.
NOTE
The buckle has a buckle switch (variant). In
the event of an operating error or malfunction,
the message
SAFETY BELT
appears in the
display and operating unit, see the chapter
entitled "Display messages".
