Driving a large vehicle
Although it appears big, the van is actually not much wider than an ordinary
car. The biggest difficulty is in judging the extra length.
Steering: The rear wheels are significantly further back from the driver
than in a normal car. As a result it is very easy to turn too soon and have
the rear wheels bump over the kerb, or worse, to scrape the side of the van
against something. The trick is to turn later, running wider on corners and
at junctions.
The
seats have height adjustment at the front and back, and the steering
column moves in and out.
There are four
mirrors, all separately electrically adjustable. Set the
bottom mirrors so you can see the rear wheels in relation to the curb on
one side, and the white line at the centre of the road.
Reversing: Ask your passenger to walk ahead to guide you. Tell them to
stand where they can see you in the mirrors, so you can see them – and
avoid running them over(!).
Remember to use all six gears.
Passengers must remain seated with seat belts fastened whenever the
vehicle is moving.
The Height (2.7m) is written on a label at the top of the windscreen
remember the extra height.
Parking: the vehicle is too tall to fit in most multi-storey car parks, and
longer than most on-street parking bays
