0.1.3. General Safe Operating Practices Bear in mind the following criteria and precautions to ensure safe and reliable operation, in addition to those indicated in the traffic laws in your country: • Only qualified personnel must perform operation and maintenance of the vehicle. • Before driving, conduct a walk around checking that all baggage compartment doors and equipment access doors are securely shut. • Make sure good visibility is maintained at all times. Keep windshields clean and free of obstructions.

• Adjust the driver’s seat so that all controls can be reached easily. • Always wear the safety belt when driving. • Check the instrument panel frequently. Do not operate the vehicle when dials or indicators are not in their normal operating condition. • Always pay attention to pedestrians passing in front and behind the vehicle. Always yield to pedestrians at pedestrian walkways. • Do not drive over obstacles on the road. Empty boxes, piles of leaves and snowdrifts could conceal hidden dangers that could damage the vehicle suspension and underbody. • When turning or changing lanes, signal your intention well in advance.

• When approaching to make a right turn, reduce the space between the vehicle and the curb to make sure another vehicle cannot pass on the right. Since the vehicle makes wide turns, allow enough space to make safe turns. • Switch from high beams to low beams when meeting or following other vehicles within 500 ft [150 m]. • Stop and park the vehicle in a safe area and by positioning the vehicle parallel to the edge of the road. • Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running or the main switch activated. Turn off the engine and the battery power supply by Main switch, put the transmission in neutral and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. • Always put the transmission in neutral and apply parking brake before leaving driving site.

• When stopping or parking in a place with a significant slope, the driver must also adequately chock the wheels. Use chock blocks (never using rocks or other items not intended expressly for this purpose) or supporting one of the drive wheels on the curb, angling the wheels towards the center of the road on uphill slopes and away from it on downhill slopes. After use, the chock blocks must be removed from the road before resuming travel. • Shut-off the engine before refueling, adding oil, performing maintenance or servicing tasks, unless stated otherwise. • Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. Do not smoke when refueling. Keep away from open flames or sparks. • Do not run the engine or HVAC system with access doors open. Close compartment doors before operating any equipment.

0. INTRODUCTION

• Do not remove the tank filler cap or the cooling system cap when the engine is hot. Let the engine cool down before removing caps.

• Establish eye-to-eye contact with other drivers and with pedestrians. Use, high beam and low beam headlights, turn signals and horn as needed.

• Do not attempt to push or pull-start a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission.

• On highway, do not stare at the road ahead. Keep your eyes moving. Check mirrors and dashboard instruments frequently.

• The service life of the vehicle depends on the kind of maintenance it receives. Always record any problems and report them immediately to maintenance personnel. • For city driving, allow a 4 to 6 seconds travel interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Increase this travel interval to 6 to 8 seconds for highway driving. Increase travel interval for driving at night or in foul weather. • Be prepared to stop when approaching an intersection. The stopping distance of the vehicle increases with the weight and speed.

• To keep the vehicle from drifting across lanes during highway driving, always look over the horizon on the road ahead. • Adjust your speed to road conditions, traffic and visibility. Never exceed the posted speed limits. • If another vehicle is following close behind, reduce your speed to let the vehicle pass.

PRIOR TO WORKING ON A SYSTEM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, MAKE SURE TO DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AND AIR SUPPLY. A COMPONENT COULD BE SUPPLIED WITH ELECTRICITY EVEN IF BATTERY MAIN SWITCH IS SET TO THE OFF POSITION AND/OR A COMPONENT COULD BE PRESSURIZED EVEN IF AIR TANKS ARE EMPTIED.

INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

TAKING NECESSARY ACTIONS BEFORE DRIVING PREVENTS POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING.

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO OPERATING EQUIPMENT:

• PLACE A “DO NOT OPERATE” TAG IN THE OPERATOR AREA OR NEAR THE VEHICLE CONTROLS.

DAILY INSPECTIONS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT AS A PART OF THE USUAL MAINTENANCE, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE OPTIMUM CONDITIONS OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE.

• SHUT DOWN THE EQUIPMENT UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECT BY INSPECTIONS PROCEDURES.

• BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE TOOLS REQUIRED FOR PERFORMING THE TASK AT HAND AND HOW TO USE THOSE TOOLS CORRECTLY.

TO HAVE OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR DRIVER´S AND PASSENGER´S SAFETY, ALWAYS CHECK ALL ITEMS THAT MAY AFFECT DRIVING PERFORMANCE.

• ALWAYS ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO COOL. HOT PARTS MAY CAUSE BURNS OR IGNITE OR MELT COMMON MATERIALS. • THE VEHICLE MUST BE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE AND THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT WORK ON A VEHICLE SUPPORTED ONLY BY LIFTING JACKS OR HOISTS. • DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WITH THE MAIN SWITCH UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES.

CAUTION • EXERCISE WHEN WORKING AROUND ROTATING PARTS. ROTATING PARTS CAN CAUSE CUTS, MUTILATION OR STRANGULATION. • EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. HIGH VOLTAGES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. • VEHICLE FLUIDS ARE TOXIC. PHYSICAL CONTACT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS.

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

In the following list it can be seen an overview of the driver´s daily tasks before driving:

• Checking Emission Aftertreatment System.

• Checking instrument panel.

• Checking batteries.

• Checking headlights, direction indicators and horn.

• Checking luggage. • Checking doors, covers and hatches.

• Checking windscreen wipers and washer fluid.

• Emergency situation equipment.

• Checking tire pressure and condition.

• Driver´s seat adjustment.

• Checking systems for leaks.

• Steering wheel adjustment.

• Checking engine oil level.

• Rear view mirror sight adjustment.

• Checking coolant level.

• Driver´s seat belt.

• Checking fuel level and suction filter.

In order to increase the safety and avoid possible accidents when performing checking and inspections in the back side of the vehicle, especially in the engine area, it is possible to block the startup from the driver's site in two ways.

• Checking power-assisted steering fluid level. • Checking cooling fan drive fluid level. • Checking pneumatic system.

PERFORMING ENGINE STARTUP BLOCKADE IS MANDATORY UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY CHECKING PROCEDURES: • THE MANUAL MAIN SWITCH CAN BE OPERATED TO DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY OF THE BATTERIES TO THE VEHICLE (SEE PARAGRAPH 5.1). • THE ENGINE SAFETY SWITCH FOR MAINTENANCE CAN BE USED TO ALLOW ONLY THE STARTUP FROM THE ENGINE AREA (SEE PARAGRAPH 5.4).

4.1. Checking Instrument Panel Check that all control switches and displays function properly before driving. See Paragraph 3 in order to become familiar with the instrument panel. Activate the battery power supply to the vehicle before checking all control switches and displays (see Paragraph 5). WARNING LAMPS MAY INDICATE ANY MALFUNCTION DURING TRAVEL. ALWAYS FIND OUT THE REASONS FOR THE MALFUNCTION. PARK THE VEHICLE IN A CONVENIENT PLACE AND CONSULT AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE IF HELP IS NEEDED.

Indicator and warning lights provide all information about the operations of the vehicle. Consult authorized Irizar service if any of the switches and displays malfunction.

4.2. Checking Headlights, Direction Indicators and Horn Check all headlights and external lamps before driving. Consult authorized IRIZAR Service in case of any malfunctioning.

Bear in mind that some lateral auxiliary lights are activated with the Auxiliary Lights Switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

Check the correct operation of the electric and pneumatic horn. Use the Pneumatic or electric horn selector to enable each (see Paragraph 2.3).

It is possible to activate almost all external lights by pressing the Check Lights Switch (see Paragraph 2.3). In order to use this switch the engine must be started. Then, check the correct operation of lights from the outside of the vehicle.

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

Then activate each horn by pressing the push button of the left hand side control of the steering column (see Paragraph 2.1). Refill it if necessary, taking into account that a commercial detergent, which can be purchased in specialised car shops, is recommended. Never use household washing-up liquid, as its composition deteriorates the tubing and the rubber edges of the wipers.

4 DO NOT START DRIVING IF SOME EXTERNAL LIGHT OR HORN IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY.

4.3. Checking Windscreen Wipers and Washer Fluid Check the level of windscreen washer fluid before driving. Top up the fluid if the level is low. The display shows the “Washer fluid level low” warning icon when the windscreen washer fluid level is low.

Windscreen tank

HARD WATER MINERALS MAY BLOCK THE WASHER SPRAYS. To fill the windscreen wiper tank open the front cover (see Paragraph 1.5.4). Open the tank cap and fill the tank, then close the tank and the front hatch.

Check the windscreen wiper with the L. H. side control of the Steering Column (see Paragraph 2.1.1).

4.4. Checking Tire Pressure and Condition Remove any objects caught in the tread of the tires. Check for evidence of wear and damage in the tires. Check the attachment of the wheels.

THE TIRES PRESSURE CHECKING HAS TO BE DONE WHILE THE TIRES ARE COLD, TIRE PRESSURE INCREASES WHILE DRIVING. PERFORM TIRE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT ACCORDING TO THE VALUES GIVEN BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. CHECK THAT ALL RIMS ARE INSTALLED AND FIXED PROPERLY. Pay attention to their inflation pressure (do not forget the spare wheel). An inappropriate pressure might have an effect on the steering as well as on their lifetime. See Paragraph 9 for more information about tire inflation characteristics.

A WRONG TIRE PRESSURE HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON SAFETY: • EXTREMELY HIGH TIRE PRESSURE INCREASES WEAR OF TIRES, BRAKING DISTANCE AND REDUCES ROAD HANDLING. • TIRE PRESSURE RISES AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN HOT CONDITIONS. DO NOT DEFLATE THE TIRES WHEN THEY ARE HOT. PRESSURE ADJUSTED IN HOT CONDITIONS MIGHT BE INSUFFICIENT IN COLD CONDITIONS. • OBJECTS SUCH AS NAILS, GRAVEL ETC. INSIDE THE TIRE TREADS MAY CAUSE CONTINUOUS DEFLATION OF TIRE PRESSURE. CHECK THE TIRES REGULARLY.

• EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAUSES TIRE OVERHEATING, INCREASES FUEL CONSUMPTION AND REDUCES ROAD HANDLING. • OVERLOADED TIRES WITH EXTREMELY LOW PRESSURE HAVE A HIGH RISK OF INFLATION. • EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE CAN DETERIORATE THE TIRE CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO RELEASE FROM THE RIM FIXATION. CHECK TIRES ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND IN A SAFE LOCATION. NEVER CHECK TIRE STATUS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND DRIVER´S ATTENTION IS ON THE ROAD.

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

• Check the tire pressures before prolonged driving.

Check the tires visually and ensure that they are in good conditions.

4.6. Checking Engine Oil Level

• Check the tire pressures once a week when they are cold.

AN INCORRECT OIL LEVEL CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE. MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS STANDING ON FLAT SURFACE WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS MEASURED.

• Always check the tire pressures with a pressure gauge. There are two options: ▪▪

Instrument panel Paragraph 3.5).

▪▪

TPMS display (See Paragraph 2.7).

CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED, AND WAIT TILL THE OIL FLOWS BACK INTO THE SUMP.

4.5. Checking Systems for Leaks Check fuel, lubrication, coolant, hydraulic and pneumatic systems of the vehicle for leaks before driving. Check for leaks in actuators and joints. Check stains on the floor that may have remained after a parking. CONSULT AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE IN CASE OF ANY LEAKS IN THE SYSTEMS.

Initially check for engine oil warnings in the instrument panel. If the oil pressure is low or too low, a yellow or red warning icon is activated on the display after the main switch has been switched on. Thus, if the pressure is low the oil level might be also low.

Oil pressure low (yellow) and too low (red)

The engine oil pressure value can be checked in the display of instrument panel (see Paragraph 3.5.3).

Then, ensure that the engine oil level is correct with the oil dipstick. The engine oil level can only be checked when:

The oil temperature rises to 176 °F [80°C] after driving approximately 15.5 miles [25 km]. So, if the vehicle is moved after being stationary for a longer period, the oil is cold and has not risen above 104 °F [40 °C], the waiting time is then 120 minutes. The oil dipstick is located on the engine area. Open the rear hatch of the vehicle to access the stick.

• The vehicle is at flat surface.

Open the rear hatch of the vehicle in order to get access to the coolant tank. The level can be checked on the side tank indicator. HOT COOLANT UNDER PRESSURE MAY ESCAPE WHEN REMOVING. THE EXPANSION TANK CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. NEVER REMOVE THE EXPANSION TANK CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT. WAIT UNTIL THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE IS LOWER THAN 122 ºF [50 ºC]. PLACE A CLOTH OVER THE CAP AND UNSCREW IT CAREFULLY TO RELIEVE EXCESS PRESSURE. THE CAP CAN THEN BE FULLY UNSCREWED.

If necessary, refill it to the maximum level shown in the tank. The engine coolant must meet CES14603 specifications (see Paragraph 12). If the circuit of the cooling system is largely empty (header tank completely empty) or a complete coolant change is wanted to carry, consult an authorized Irizar Service before filling. Also, if the coolant frequently needs topping up or there are any signs of coolant leakage, consult an authorized IRIZAR Service point. TOPPING UP COOLANT IN A HOT AND RUNNING ENGINE CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE: • TOP UP WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. • TOP UP WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING.

THE FILLING CAP OF THE EXPANSION TANK IS PROVIDED WITH A RELIEF VALVE WHICH SHALL RELEASE A POSSIBLE EXCESS OF PRESSURE OF THE COOLING CIRCUIT IN CASE ANY FAILURE IS PRODUCED. IN THE PROCESS OF THE CUP CLOSING, ONCE THE END POSITION HAS BEEN REACHED, DO NOT FORCE OR CONTINUE CLOSING, AS THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED RELIEF VALVE MIGHT BECOME DAMAGED.

4.8. Checking Fuel Level and Suction Filter Check the fuel level by using the corresponding gauge located on instrument panel and top up the tank with correct fuel if needed.

• TOP UP SLOWLY WITH COOLANT.

103

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE FUEL IS COMPLETELY CONSUMED BEFORE REFUELING BECAUSE AIR REMAINING INSIDE THE TANK MAY CAUSE ENGINE MALFUNCTION.

In order to fill the tank, open the fuel lid and introduce the fuel nozzle in the plug valve. Depending on the vehicle the fuel lid may be manually opened or by unlocking initially by a service switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

If the level of the tank is lower than the threshold for the fuel level a warning will appear in the instrument panel.

Make sure that the tank is as full as possible to prevent condensation (especially in winter). See Paragraph 12 for more information about fuel specifications.

104

The fuel system has a fuel suction prefilter with moisture separator. If excessive water is detected “Water in fuel indicator” icon appears and the filter must be drained. Consult an authorized Irizar service point.

It is possible to check directly the level in the steering oil tank, which is located in the engine area. Open the right side cover at the back of the vehicle in order to get access to the steering oil tank.

WORK CLEANLY WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. CLEAN THE VICINITY OF THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS BEFORE STARTING ANY ACTIVITIES ON THEM.

105

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

SOME PARTS OF THE SYSTEM CAN STILL BE HOT. HYDRAULIC LIQUID USED IN THE STEERING SYSTEM CAN REACH TEMPERATURES OF UP TO 176 ยบF [80 ยบC]. MAKE SURE THE HYDRAULIC LIQUID OF THE SYSTEM HAS COOLED DOWN SUFFICIENTLY BELOW 122 ยบF [50 ยบC] BEFORE REMOVING THE CAP.

The tank has an oil dipstick but since the tank is transparent, it is not required to take out the dipstick to check the steering oil level. For the visual checking, use the stickers adhered in the exterior of the steering oil tank or the marks of the dipstick. Before pulling out the oil dipstick or the filling cup, thoroughly clean the oil tank and its immediate vicinity to protect the hydraulic oil from being soiled by impurities. With the engine stopped the oil must be topped up to the upper (maximum) mark of the oil dipstick or the steering oil tank stickers. If necessary, refill the tank taking into account the fluid features indicated in Paragraph 12. Remove the steering oil tank cap by turning it and fill it with oil to the maximum level mark. Start the engine and have it running at idle speed to fill the steering system with oil. During this operation, the oil level in the tank will quickly drop. To avoid any suction of air, the steering oil tank has to be topped up constantly.

4.11. Checking Pneumatic System Check that air pressure is enough to operate brakes and other pneumatic systems. The following icons indicate low or too low pressure in different circuits of the vehicle.

The pressure value on these pneumatic circuits is also shown in bargraphs. For more information see Paragraph 3.5. The engine must be started to generate pressured air. Do not operate the coach if the pressures in the vehicle circuits do not reach normal values. DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN AIR PRESSURE BELOW 87 PSI [6 bar].

107

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

The pneumatic system filters the air humidity in the air dryer and then the compressed air is passed to the wet tank, before feeding other elements such as air reservoirs.

RETAINED AIR UNDER PRESSURE MAY CAUSE GASKET AND/OR PARTICLES OF DIRT TO BLOW. PERSONAL EYE AND EAR PROTECTION MUST BE WORN AND CARE TAKEN TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY WHEN PERFORMING ANY WORK ON THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM.

The correct operation of the air dryer can be checked by inspecting the air reservoirs and the wet tank for condensed water. RESERVOIRS AND WET TANK INSPECTIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE. Both the wet tank and the air reservoirs have drain valves and by pulling on the rings it is possible to check for condensed water.

Drain valves in the wet tank and in an air reservoir

If more than the normal amount of water is drained off repeatedly, replace the air dryer element. Consult an official service point.

4.11.1. Pressure Testing Points There is another option to check the pneumatic system. There are pressures testing points used to verify that the air pressure in the circuits. These points are located next to the drive axle. 1. Rear brake port. 2. Front brake port. 3. ACC/tire inflation port.

The color of the bar graph changes depending on the fluid level. Also, when the level is below 10% a warning is shown in the display. For more information about these icons see Paragraph 5.8.1.

4.12. Checking Emission Aftertreatment System 4.12.1. Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system The SCR system is used to reduce the level of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases, and Urea-Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust gases for this purpose. A bargraph on the instrument panel shows the Urea-DEF level.

As the use of Urea-DEF is important for the SCR system operation, penalties are implemented to make sure that the UreaDEF dosing system remains in good working condition. These penalties consist of an engine power derate and eventually followed by a vehicle speed limit.

109

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

UREA-DEF FLUID IS A TOXIC FLUID. PHYSICAL CONTACT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS.

Dosing malfunctioning and wrong quality Urea-DEF warning indications require assistance of an official Irizar service point for cleaning or repairing the SCR system.

IF THERE IS CONTACT WITH THE EYES: RINSE WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.

4 Not using Urea-DEF to reduce pollutant emissions is a criminal offence and can invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. During winter conditions pay special attention when freezing since the Urea-DEF expands more than water. It is advised not to fill the Urea-DEF tank to more than 75%. If necessary, refill it taking the indicated fluid features into account (see Paragraph 12). The Urea-DEF tank is in the rear right side of the vehicle, although its position may change depending on the vehicle.

110

Open the Urea-DEF lid, then unscrew the tank plug and introduce the Urea-DEF nozzle. Depending on the vehicle the Urea-DEF lid may be manually opened or by unlocking initially by a service switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

4. INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING

For a proper seating position, follow the next recommendations:

4.18. Steering Wheel Adjustment

• Adjust the horizontal adjustment in such a way, that the pedals can be reached easily and can be tromped without any efforts to the floor.

Check steering wheel position before driving and adjust it if necessary. The setting lever is under the steering wheel For more information about the steering setting lever see Paragraph 3.14.

• Adjust the backrest to an inclination that the steering wheel can be reached also with angled arms. • The lumbar support shall avoid a hollowback or a humpback. Take care that your complete back abuts to the backrest from the bottom to the shoulder. While shifting and/or steering, the back does not leave the backrest. • Do not adjust the shock absorber so softly that on rough roads the seat will knock through.

114

Advices for correct and comfortable seating are described in previous Paragraph 4.17. PRIOR TO START DRIVING, MAKE SURE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS PROPERLY LOCKED. CHANGING STEERING WHEEL POSITION WHEN DRIVING REDUCES CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. STEERING WHEEL POSITION MUST NOT PREVENT FULL VISION OF INDICATOR AND FAULT LAMPS.

Once the lever has been operated in order to modify the position of the steering wheel, if it is not locked again, this shall become automatically locked after 20-30 seconds.

4.19. Rear View Mirror Sight Adjustment Adjust the rear view mirrors to guarantee utmost visibility. There are four view mirror outside and one inside. Adjust the position of external bottom mirrors (2) by using the following electrical switch. The switch can be turned to select the left or the right mirror. The selected mirror is adjusted by moving the switch in the appropriate direction.

External upper mirrors (1) can be adjusted manually. Heating can be used to remove water droplets and ice from the external mirror glasses. Make sure the mirrors are free of mist or ice when driving. See Paragraph 2.3 for mirror heating switch information.

It is possible to fold the external rear view mirrors by moving all the set horizontally. Do not apply vertical or diagonal stress, as it might cause the breakage of the mirror or any of its components.

4.20. Driver´s Seat Belt After adjusting the driver´s seat (See Paragraph 4.17) put on the seat belt before driving. Follow the next recommendations: • Do not twist the safety belt when putting it on. • Insert the buckle latch into the belt buckle until it engages with a click.

• Give a short pull on the safety belt to test the locking mechanism. During this test, the safety belt must lock. Also the internal view mirror has to be adjusted in order to be able to observe adequately the passengers.

Press the red button on the belt buckle to release the belt. Belt should coil automatically.

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

If starting of the engine exceeds a certain period of time, the starter motor is deactivated. A system warning appears on the display. After a certain waiting period, it is possible to restart the engine. DO NOT DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR MOVE THE ACCELERATOR LEVER FROM THE IDLE POSITION WHILE CRANKING THE ENGINE. THIS CAN RESULT IN ENGINE OVERSPEED AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

• If the engine does not start after three attempts, perform inspections before driving again (see Paragraph 4) and allow the starter motor to cool down for at least 5 minutes before repeating the starting procedure. If after that the engine still does not start consult an authorized Irizar service. • I dle the engine 3 to 5 minutes before operating with a load.

120

THE ENGINE MUST HAVE ADEQUATE OIL PRESSURE WITHIN 15 SECONDS AFTER STARTING. IF THE WARNING LAMP INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE HAS NOT GONE OUT OR THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE INDICATED ON A GAUGE WITHIN 15 SECONDS, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE DAMAGE.

5.2. Cold Weather Startup Procedure Follow the normal startup procedure (see Paragraph 5.1) but taking into account the next requirements. Before starting the engine it is advisable to program the preheater to have the engine warm in the moment of startup (see Paragraph 8.2.14). If a preheater is not available in the vehicle an external auxiliary heater may be used to warm the engine systems. IN COLD WEATHER THE ENGINE HAS TO BE RUNNING LONGER AT IDLE BUT ONLY UNTIL THE MINIMUM PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES ARE REACH IN ENGINE SYSTEMS.

5.3. Engine Shut Down Procedure RECALL THAT BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE THE PARKING BRAKE MUST BE ACTIVATED AND THE MAIN SWITCH POSITIONED SUCH THAT THE ELECTRIC CURRENT IS SWITCHED OFF. WHEN THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF, THE GEARBOX AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL. IF THE SERVICE BRAKE OR PARK BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL AWAY. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKE OR PARK BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE CORRECT SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE AND SHORTENING LIFE OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE.

ENSURE THAT THE ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH IS PUSHED FOR A MINIMUM OF 90 SECONDS PRIOR TO DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY POWER SUPPLY BY THE MAIN SWITCH.

• When the engine is running always select neutral in the gear selector before turning the vehicle off.

NEVER OPERATE THE MAIN SWITCH WHILE THE ENGINE IS STARTED OR DRIVING.

• Activate the parking brake.

OPERATING THE MAIN SWITCH WHILE DRIVING WILL SWITCH OFF ALL ELECTRIC SYSTEMS AND THE ENGINE. THIS CAN LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS OF THE VEHICLE.

• Press the Start/Stop switch to stop the engine. • Press the electrical main switch to disconnect the electric power supply.

5.4. Startup and Shut Down for Maintenance in the Engine Area MAINTENANCE WORK MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

ENGINE STARTUP AND SHUT DOWN FROM THE ENGINE MUST BE ONLY MADE BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS MENTIONED IN “INSPECTIONS BEFORE DRIVING” PARAGRAPH 4, ABOUT ROTATING PARTS, HOT SURFACES, TOXIC FLUIDS, ETC.

The switch has two levers. The right one is to choose from where it is wanted to start the engine. Operate the lever to “Back” position (1) to control the startup and shut down from the engine area or to “Front” position (2) in order to be controlled from driver’s site. If the “Back” position (1) is selected, the left lever is active. Push the lever upwards (3) to start the engine. To shut down the engine push the lever downwards (4).

5.5.1. Service Brake The service brake is operated by the brake pedal (left pedal) and it is the primary braking system of the vehicle. If frequent use of the service brakes is required, it is recommended that a slower control speed be used by selecting a lower transmission gear.

There is a safety switch that prevents the startup of the engine and avoids possible accidents when maintenance tasks are being carried in the engine area.

Applying the service brakes while in cruise control will disengage the cruise control and enable the engine brakes. 4 Engine safety switch location

122

5.5. Braking System

The vehicle braking system is actuated pneumatically, so if the service brake malfunction check the pneumatic circuit’s pressures. If any problem is detected consult an authorized Irizar service point before continuing driving. FREQUENT USE OF THE SERVICE BRAKES WILL CAUSE THEM TO HEAT UP, WHICH REDUCES THE ABILITY TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO USE THE VEHICLE SERVICE BRAKES FOR EMERGENCY STOPPING. THE SAFE CONTROL SPEED OF A VEHICLE WILL VARY WITH THE SIZE OF THE LOAD, THE TYPE OF LOAD, THE GRADE, AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS.

ALWAYS ALLOW FOR EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND OTHER OBJECTS WHEN USING THE SERVICE BRAKES OR ENGINE BRAKES ON SLICK ROADS.

5.5.2. Parking Brake In order to prevent the vehicle from moving after it has stopped the parking brake has to be applied: • Pull the lever upwards to apply the parking brake. • Push the lever downwards to release the parking brake.

ALWAYS CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATION ICON ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE SYSTEM IF THE WARNING LAMP DOES NOT TURN OFF ALTHOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED. IN SUCH A CASE, CONSULT AN AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE POINT BEFORE CONTINUING DRIVING. NEVER USE THE PARKING BRAKE WHILE DRIVING IF IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

RECALL THAT BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE THE PARKING BRAKE MUST BE ACTIVATED. IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE CAN MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY AND YOU OR OTHERS COULD BE INJURED. IF YOU MUST LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL (N), ENSURE THAT THE ENGINE IS AT LOW IDLE (500-800 RPM), APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED AND CHOCK THE WHEELS TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM MOVING.

DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT DEACTIVATE, IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE.

124

5.5.3. Emergency Parking Brake The vehicle has available an emergency push handle for emergency release of spring brakes, thus achieving the unlocking of the drive axle. While the emergency parking brake handle is pressed the parking brake is released. See Paragraph 6.5 for more information about emergency displacements of the vehicle. IT MUST BE ONLY USED IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHEN THE DRIVE AXLE REMAINS BLOCKED DUE TO SOME PNEUMATIC PROBLEM.

Emergency parking brake

5.5.4. Engine Brake Engine brakes are devices that use the energy of engine compression to provide vehicle retardation. Engine brakes provide the maximum retarding power at rated speed; gear selection, therefore is important.

The engine brake lever is located in the right side of the steering wheel (see Paragraph 2.1.2). The lever has three different positions and operating it downwards the engine braking force is increased. When the engine brake lever is positioned in one of the three positions an icon in the instrument panel appears. The color of this icon is white when the engine brake is deactivated and green when it is activated.

Engine brake icons

Some important conditions must met to engage the engine brake once the lever is in an active position: • The engine is started. • The engine speed must be more than the idle speed. • The ABS control is not activated.

• The accelerator pedal is not depressed. • Exceeding the speed selected in the Control Cruise (CC) without accelerating. THE ENGINE BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD BE USED TO SUPPORT THE SERVICE BRAKE. THE EXCESSIVE USE OF THE SERVICE BRAKE CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE LOSS OF BRAKING CAPACITY. THE ENGINE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE SERVICE BRAKES, AND FOR THIS REASON SERVICE BRAKES WILL BE REQUIRED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP.

DO NOT EXCEED GOVERNED ENGINE SPEED WHEN OPERATING ENGINE BRAKES. ENGINE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR. THE ENGINE BRAKES ARE DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE INLET AIR AFTER THE INTRCOOLER IS TOO HIGH, THE BRAKING FORCE OF THE ENGINE BRAKE MAY BE REDUCED OR DISENGAGED. The longer or steeper the hill, the more important it is to use your engine brakes. Make maximum use of your engine brakes by gearing down and letting the engine brakes do the work. Idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes at approximately 1000 rpm to warm the engine before activating the engine brakes. Do not operate the engine brakes until the engine oil temperature is above 86 °F [30 °C].

• The neutral gear is not applied.

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF THE ENGINE BRAKES WILL NOT DEACTIVATE, IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. IF THE ENGINE BRAKES WILL NOT SHUT OFF, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE POINT.

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, REDUCE THE ENGINE BRAKES ON SLICK ROADS. USING ENGINE BRAKES ON WET OR SLIPPERY ROADS CAN CAUSE OVERBRAKING, ESPECIALLY ON VEHICLES WITH LIGHT LOADS OR SINGLE-DRIVE AXLES. STOPPING DISTANCE CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE, OR THE VEHICLE CAN SKID OR JACKKNIFE. REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL MAINTAIN TRACTION WITH THE RETARDING POWER OF THE ENGINE ALONE.

5.5.5. ABS control The ABS control is an antilock braking control. The ABS ensures good braking stability and good steering in critical braking situations. By preventing the wheels from locking, the steering characteristics of the vehicle are retained.

126

ABS CONTROL DOES NOT RELEASE THE DRIVER FROM THE OBLIGATION TO ADAPT THE DRIVING STYLE TO THE TRAFFIC AND ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS. THE ANTILOCK PROTECTION CANNOT OFFSET THE RESULTS OF DRIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OR TAKING A BEND AT TOO HIGH A SPEED. OCCASIONALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS, THE BRAKING DISTANCE IS SHORTER WITH ABS CONTROL. IGNORING THESE MATTERS CAN LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALSO FOR OTHER ROAD USERS. DO NOT ADAPT THE DRIVING STYLE TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF HAVING ABS CONTROL.

DO NOT BRAKE LATER AND HARDER. THIS ONLY CAUSES UNNECESSARY TIRE WEAR. IT MAY ALSO BE EXTRA HAZARDOUS FOR OTHER ROAD USERS.

5.5.6. Hill Holder Hill Holder can be used when it is needed to start driving off on a hill, without having to use the park brake. Engaging Hill Holder becomes active when: • The engine is started. • The Hill Holder switch is ON. • The vehicle is stopped.

• ABS has not been activated during the last stop. • Sufficient air pressure. The condition of gear engaged is not necessary for the Hill Holder to become active. This means that the Hill Holder becomes active also in Neutral. Depending on the torque converter status, it could be possible that the Hill Holder does not become active at the forward position (D) or at the reverse position (R). It depends on the output torque of the gearbox. Hill Start Aid remains active as long as the brake pedal is operated. A warning icon is shown on the display. If the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is depressed, the vehicle drives off and the warning icon disappears.

You will have 3 seconds to accelerate and start driving at the forward position “D” (or at the reverse position “R”) of the gear selector and with the vehicle stopped, once the service brake pedal has been released. If you do not proceed in such a way, it would be possible for the vehicle to go reversely. As soon as the service brake pedal is released, the warning icon starts flashing indicating that the braked will release soon. Once 3 seconds have elapsed from this possibility is available, a sound together with the flashing icon indicates that the brakes are going to be released. Also, it is possible to deactivate the Hill Holder by pressing the Hill Holder switch (see Paragraph 2.3). In this way also, you will have 3 seconds to accelerate and start driving before the Hill Holder is deactivated.

• The service brake pedal is applied. • The park brake is not applied.

5.6.1. Functions of Mode Button This button can allow the driver to enable a secondary shift mode that has been programmed into the TCM unit. Pressing the mode button activates the PERFORMANCE mode. The PERFORMANCE mode is activated 30 seconds and then returns to ECONOMY mode.

4. MODE button.

129

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Both ECONOMY (default mode at starting of the engine) and PERFORMANCE (secondary shift mode) modes are equivalent from the first to the fourth gear as the transmission upshifts at around 2000 rpm.

The ECONOMY mode allows for upshifts in fifth and sixth gears at around 1700 rpm. This is a more efficient operation of the transmission and thereby helps improve fuel economy. The PERFORMANCE mode keeps upshifts at 2000 rpm in fifth and sixth gears. This makes for better performance than the ECONOMY mode but higher fuel consumption. It is recommended this mode be selected while driving up or down grades.

TO HELP AVOID INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE, DO NOT MAKE SHIFTS FROM N (NEUTRAL) TO D (DRIVE) OR R (REVERSE) WHEN THE THROTTLE IS OPEN. THE VEHICLE MAY LURCH FORWARD OR REARWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION CAN BE DAMAGED. AVOID THIS CONDITION BY MAKING SHIFTS FROM N (NEUTRAL) TO A FORWARD RANGE OR R (REVERSE) ONLY WHEN THE THROTTLE IS CLOSED AND THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. Reverse (R)

Driving mode can be selected at any time.

5.6.2. Selection of Ranges The driver has to select R, N or D buttons manually in order to select REVERSE, NEUTRAL or DRIVE range options.

130

Use this position to back-up the vehicle. Stop completely before shifting from forward to reverse or from reverse to forward. Touch the reverse button, “R” will be displayed and the reverse warning signal will be activated.

NEVER SELECT R WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN FORWARD MOTION. Neutral (N) Use this position to start engine. Select neutral when checking vehicle accessories and for extended periods of engine idle operation; parking brake must then be applied. ALWAYS PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY PARKING BRAKE BEFORE LEAVING DRIVING SITE. THE PARKING BRAKE MUST BE APPLIED WHENEVER NEUTRAL IS SELECTED TO PREVENT UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR VEHICLE TO â&#x20AC;&#x153;COASTâ&#x20AC;? IN NEUTRAL. THIS PRACTICE CAN RESULT IN TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. ALSO, NO ENGINE BRAKE IS AVAILABLE IN NEUTRAL. The automatic transmission does not have a park position. Select neutral and apply parking brake when the vehicle is left unattended. Drive (D) Use this position for all normal driving conditions. If DRIVE option is selected the gearbox works by default automatically changing the transmission range when necessary. The highest forward range available will appear in the digital display window under SELECT. The transmission will start out in the lowest forward range available, displayed under MONITOR, and advance automatically to the highest range.

After touching this pad, the vehicle will start in first or second range and will automatically upshift to a higher range as output speed increases. As the vehicle slows down, output speed decreases, the transmission automatically downshifts to the correct range. Brake pedal must be applied when selecting drive; otherwise, the transmission will stay in neutral. Upshift ( ) or Downshift ( ) Press respectively Upshift or Downshift buttons when in DRIVE to request the next higher or lower range manually. One press changes gears by one range. If the button is held down, the selection will scroll up or down until the button is released or until the highest or lowest possible range is selected. Protection mechanisms inhibit selecting ranges that are not appropriate for the current speed or which may damage driveline components.

5.6.3. Description of Ranges First range (1) Select this range when pulling through mud and snow or when speed control is needed for driving up steep grades. This range also provides maximum engine braking power. In the lower ranges (1-2-3-4), the transmission will not upshift above the highest gear selected unless engine overspeed is detected. The transmission should normally be allowed to shift by itself, but manual shifting can be done. The gear selector should not be downshifted to 1 and 2 speeds above 49.7 mph [80 km/h].

Press DRIVE to return to automatic shift.

131

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Second range (2)

Select this range when operating in heavy and congested traffic. The transmission will start in first and automatically upshift to second range. When slowing, the transmission will automatically downshift to first range. Low ranges provide progressively greater engine braking power (the lower the range, the greater engine braking power). The gear selector should not be downshifted to 1 and 2 speeds above 49.7 mph [80 km/h]. Third and fourth ranges (3 and 4) Select these ranges when driving on moderate grades or when load and traffic conditions limit speed.

SERVICE BRAKES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF VEHICLE ON LONG, STEEP DESCENTS. INSTEAD, LOWER TRANSMISSION RANGES SHOULD BE USED (IN CONJUNCTION WITH ENGINE BRAKED). THIS PROCEDURE KEEPS SERVICE BRAKES COOL AND READY FOR EMERGENCY STOPPING. WHEN DESCENDING IN LOWER RANGES, CARE MUST BE TAKEN THAT ENGINE SPEED DOES NOT EXCEED 2450 RPM.

5.6.4. Transmission Monitoring The transmission fluid temperature has to be checked while driving. In the instrument panel the transmission oil temperature is indicated by a bargraph (see Paragraph 3.5).

The transmission is considered to be overheated when the transmission fluid exceed 250 ยบF [121 ยบC]. Typical continuous sum temperature is 200 ยบF [93 ยบC]. IF THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS DURING NORMAL OPERATION, ENSURE THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL IS CORRECT. THE ENGINE SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AT FULL THROTTLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN RANGE AND THE OUTPUT STALLED. PROLONGED OPERATION OF THIS TYPE WILL CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE TO BECOME EXCESSIVELY HIGH AND WILL CAUSE SEVERE OVERHEAT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. If the engine temperature display indicates a high temperature, the transmission is probably overheated. Stop the vehicle and check the cooling system. If it appears to be functioning

132

properly, run the engine at 1200-1500 rpm with the transmission in NEUTRAL. This should reduce the transmission temperature to normal operating levels in 2 or 3 minutes. If high temperature in transmission persists, stop the engine and contact an authorized Irizar service point. DO NOT MAKE N (NEUTRAL) TO D (DRIVE) OR DIRECTIONAL SHIFT CHANGES WHEN THE ENGINE RPM IS ABOVE IDLE. ALSO IF THE WHEELS ARE STUCK AND NOT TURNING, DO NOT APPLY FULL POWER FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT. IF THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS, SHIFT TO N (NEUTRAL) AND OPERATE THE ENGINE AT 12001500 RPM UNTIL IT COOLS (2-3 MINUTES).

If the transmission fluid is below 20 ºF [-7 °C], the transmission is programmed to start in 2nd gear.

5.7. Operating the Engine

If the transmission fluid temperature is below 50 ºF [10 ºC] follow these procedures when making directional shift changes:

Engine Speed Control function can be used to increase the idle rpm of the engine when the vehicle is stationary. Use the controls on the steering wheel (see Paragraph 2.1.3) to activate the Engine Speed Control.

• To shift from forward to reverse, select N (Neutral) and then R (Reverse).

5.7.1. Engine Speed Control

• To shift from reverse to forward, select N (Neutral) and then D (Drive) or another forward range. DURING COLD FLUID CONDITIONS, ALWAYS PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL PRIOR TO ANY DIRECTION CHANGES. TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF YOU OPERATE THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE FLUID TEMPERATURE BELOW THE MINIMUM FLUID TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION LIMIT.

Engaging Press the upper position (ON) of the switch (4) to engage the engine speed control. It is possible to toggle between the programmed speed values by pressing briefly the “SET +” or “RES –“ positions of the switch (5). There are three programmed engine speeds available:

133

134

• The brake pedal is operated. • Vehicle speed above 0 km/h. • Engine brake engaged.

5.7.2. Cruise Control The cruise control can be used to drive at a constant speed. The desired driving speed is set, and the vehicle maintains this speed. The driver can override the cruise control at any time by depressing the accelerator pedal, by applying the brakes or using the steering wheel switches. A properly use of the cruise control has a positive influence on fuel economy. Use the cruise control as soon as it is possible to drive for a longer period at a constant speed. It is advisable not to use the cruise control when driving in urban areas.

Using the cruise control incorrectly can lead to increased fuel consumption.

• T he vehicle speed exceeds 28 mph [45 km/h]. Cruise control enabled without set speed

• The engine speed exceeds 900 rpm. • No braking functions are active.

Cruise control enabled with set speed

• ESC is not activated. Cruise control active

The Cruise Control function has three states. This state is shown in the bottom bar of the display in the form of a cruise control symbol and the set speed. Each state is represented in a different color. The icon appears with a grey color when disabled, white when enabled and green when active.

Cruise control disabled

• ATC is not activated.

Engaging

• The Neutral gear is not selected.

When the cruise control is disabled (grey) press the “ON” position of the switch (4) (see Paragraph 2.1.3) to change the cruise control status to enabled (white). Then press “SET +” position of the switch (5) to activate the cruise control (green) with the current vehicle speed. The current vehicle speed is set as the cruise control speed which is shown in the display.

Altering

The cruise control can be engaged when all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

When cruise control is active (green) briefly press the “SET +” position of the switch (5) to increase the vehicle speed or the “RES –” position of the switch (5) to decrease the vehicle speed in small increments (approximately 1 mph [2 km/h]). The maximum speed that can be set is 75 mph [120 km/h].

• The engine is running.

135

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

When the cruise control is active, the vehicle speed can be increased using the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle speed returns to the last valid cruise control speed.

When the vehicle speed is increased with the accelerator pedal above the cruise control speed for longer than 3 minutes, the cruise control function is disengaged. Disengaging When the cruise control status is active (green) press the “Cancel/OFF” position of the switch (4) to change the status to enabled (white) and disengage it. The cruise control is also disengaged by any of the following conditions: • The engine is not running. • The vehicle speed falls below 28 mph [45 km/h]. • The engine speed falls below 900 rpm.

136

• The park brake or service brake are operated. • ESC is activated. • ATC is activated. • The Neutral gear is selected. When the cruise control is enabled (white) press the “Cancel/OFF” position of the switch (4) to change the status to disabled (grey). Re-engaging When the cruise control is disabled (grey), the “ON” position of the switch (4) has to be pressed to enable the cruise control (white). Once the cruise control is enable (white) and if a speed is already set, press the “RES-“ position of the switch (5) to activate the cruise control (green) with the last used speed. If the engaging conditions are met, the cruise control is re-engaged at the last set speed. If the current vehicle speed is less than the last set speed, the vehicle accelerates to the programmed set speed.

When re-engaging the cruise control bring the vehicle back to cruising speed using the accelerator pedal first before pressing the “RES” position of the switch (5).

5.7.3. Driving Style The following recommendations result in improved fuel economy without sacrificing vehicle performance. Driving Style In General • Anticipate traffic and other situations; try to drive without unnecessary braking, release the throttle in time. Avoid building up too much speed. • When the vehicle rolls with the throttle released, fuel consumption is zero. • Do not operate the throttle when this is not necessary; let the vehicle roll and allow the vehicle mass to do the work. • At low engine load, so not at full throttle, keep the revs as low as possible.

Using the Cruise Control (CC) incorrectly can lead to increased fuel consumption. • If it is used properly, the CC has a positive influence on fuel economy. Use the CC as soon as it is possible to drive for a longer period at a constant speed. It is advisable not to use CC when driving in urban areas. Driving Steadily

Acceleration on a Level Road

Rocking Out

• At full throttle, gearbox pulls to higher revs and skips gears.

• If the vehicle is stuck in deep sand, snow, or mud, shift to D (Drive) and apply a steady, light throttle (never full throttle).

• Go to full throttle in a controlled way. Gear Changing when Climbing a Hill • In automatic mode, the gearbox selects the right gear for any situation.

• Drive in the highest possible gear, so revs are as low as possible.

• It is possible to override the automatic gear change by operating a manual gear change in the gear selector (see Paragraph 5.6).

• Keep the vehicle speed as constant as possible, and use the CC.

Driving on Snow or Ice

• Bring the vehicle back to cruising speed using the throttle before re-engaging the cruise control with the last used speed. • Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. • Keep the cruising speed no higher than necessary.

• If possible, reduce vehicle speed and select a lower range before losing traction. Select the range that will not exceed the speed expected to be maintained. • Accelerate or decelerate very gradually to prevent the loss of traction. This avoids an unexpected downshift during acceleration.

• When the vehicle has rocked forward as far as it will go, apply and hold the vehicle service brakes. • When engine has returned to idle, select R (Reverse). • Release the vehicle service brakes and apply a steady, light throttle (never full throttle) allowing the vehicle to rock in R (Reverse) as far as it will go. • Apply and hold the vehicle service brakes and allow the engine to return to idle. • This procedure may be repeated in D (Drive) and R (Reverse) if each directional shift continues to move the vehicle a greater distance.

5.7.4. Engine Monitoring Engine and vehicle speeds CHECK CONTINUOUSLY THE VEHICLE SPEED IN INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ADJUST IT TO ROAD CONDITIONS FOR A SAFE DRIVING.

CHECK CONTINUOUSLY THE ENGINE REVOLUTIONS IN INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ADJUST IT FOR AVOID DAMAGE DUE TO HIGH REVOLUTIONS.

The speed of the vehicle is limited to 78 mph [125 km/h]. Control the appropriate vehicle speed according to state regulations and road circumstances.

Engine fluids monitoring

The engine maximum power is obtained around 1600-1700 rpm and it is recommended not to exceed 2000 rpm. To obtain optimum engine performance on a grade, allow the engine speed to load down to near peak power before shifting. This result in an engine operating speed in the maximum power zone after the shift is completed.

138

DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE BEYOND THE MAXIMUM ENGINE SPEED FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. OPERATING THE ENGINE BEYOND THE MAXIMUM ENGINE SPEED CAN CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND IS CONSIDERED ENGINE ABUSE. USE PROPER OPERATING TECHNIQUES FOR THE COACH TO PREVENT ENGINE OVERSPEED.

MONITOR FREQUENTLY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR ENGINE STATUS WARNINGS IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE IN THE VEHICLE (SEE PARAGRAPH 2.2 AND PARAGRAPH 2.3). Check for engine oil temperature warnings. If the engine oil temperature is high a yellow warning is shown and if the temperature is too high a red warning appears. The oil temperature value can be checked in the display located in the instrument panel (see Paragraph 3.5.4).

Engine oil temperature high (yellow) and too high (red) warnings

Check for engine oil pressure warnings. A low oil pressure can be caused by a problem in the engine or a low oil level. See Paragraph 4.6 for more information about engine oil checking.

Check for coolant level warnings. The display shows warning icons when the coolant level is low (yellow) or too low (red). See Paragraph 4.7 for more information about coolant level checking.

Engine Warning Lamps Engine coolant level low (yellow), too low (red) warnings

Engine oil pressure low (yellow) and too low

IF THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT RETURN TO NORMAL, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED IRIZAR SERVICE POINT.

Check frequently for fuel level by using the fuel gauge located on instrument panel. See Paragraph 4.8 for more information.

The Amber Warning Lamp notifies the operator that a non-critical system error occurred and that engine maintenance must be performed. Care must be taken since the vehicle may behave differently than usual.

(red) warnings

Check for engine coolant temperature warnings. If the engine coolant temperature is high or low a yellow warning is shown and if the temperature is too high a red warning appears. The coolant temperature can be check also by using the gauge located on instrument panel (see Paragraph 2.2).

Coolant temperature high or low (yellow) and too high (red) warnings

If an overheating condition starts to occur, reduce the power output of the engine by releasing the gas pedal or shifting the transmission to a lower gear, or both, until the temperature returns to the normal operating range.

The Red Stop Lamp notifies the operator that a serious system error occurred and that engine protection shut down or power derate inducement is approaching. Stop the engine and perform the required repairs as soon as possible.

139

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

5.8. Emission Aftertreatment System To meet the EPA emission requirements, the engine has an Emission Aftertreatment System (EAS).

The EAS provides aftertreatment of exhaust gases to reduce exhaust gas emissions. The EAS can be divided into two major systems: • The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system. • The Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system.

5.8.1. SCR System The SCR system is used to reduce the level of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases, and Urea-Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust gases for this purpose. A bargraph on the instrument panel shows the Urea-DEF level.

The color of the bargraph changes depending on the fluid level. When the level is right the bargraph is blue, if the level is low (below 10%) or very low it changes to yellow and if the tank is empty (0%) the color changes to red. For more information about these icons see Paragraph 3. The vehicle stops using Urea-DEF when the content of the reservoir is very low to prevents sucking air. So even when the bargraph indicates an empty tank (0%) a small quantity of Urea-DEF remains in the reservoir. As the use of Urea-DEF is important for the SCR system operation, penalties are implemented to make sure that the UreaDEF dosing system remains in good working condition. These penalties consist of an engine power derate and eventually followed by a vehicle speed limit. Both of these are initiated after a predefined period and triggered by: • L ow level (≤ 10%): Urea-DEF warning icon in yellow (solid), popup text “Diesel Exhaust Fluid Low” and audible tone.

140

• Very Low level (≤ 5%): Urea-DEF warning icon in yellow (blinking), popup text “Diesel Exhaust Fluid Very Low” and audible tone. • Very low level (≤ 2.5%): Urea-DEF warning icon in yellow (blinking), popup text “Diesel Exhaust Fluid Very Low” and audible tone. The engine power is reduced 25%. To avoid further warnings and reset the engine power derate, refill the Urea-DEF tank. • T he Urea-DEF tank is empty (0%): UreaDEF warning icon in yellow (blinking), popup text “Diesel Exhaust Fluid Empty” and audible tone. The engine power is reduced 40% ramped in at 1% per minute. After one continuous hour of zero vehicle speed or after refilling fuel tank with Urea-DEF level at 0%, vehicle speed will be limited to 5 mph [8 km/h] and 1000 rpm engine speed limit. To avoid further warnings and reset the vehicle speed limit, refill the Urea-DEF tank.

Urea-DEF warning icon

When Urea-DEF tank is filled with the wrong quality or contaminated fluid, operating warnings and penalties are initiated after a predefined period and triggered by: • Initial warning: The Urea-DEF warning icon in yellow and the popup text “Diesel Exhaust Fluid Incorrect Quality” appears and audible tone is activated. • Initial inducement: After 1 hour of the initial warning the engine power is reduced 25%. • Secondary inducement: After 3 hours of the initial warning the engine power is reduced 40% ramped in at 1% per minute. • Final inducement: After 3 hours of the initial warning and one continuous hour of zero vehicle speed or after refilling fuel tank, vehicle speed will be limited to 5 mph [8 km/h] and 1000 rpm engine speed limit.

When dosing malfunctioning of the UreaDEF system is detected, and Amber or Red Warning Lamps are ignored for a period of time, penalties are initiated: • Initial warning: Amber Warning Lamps appears and audible tone is activated. • I nitial inducement: After 1 hour of the initial warning the engine power is reduced 25%. • Secondary inducement: After 5 hours of the initial warning the engine torque is reduced 40% ramped in at 1% per minute. • Final inducement: After 5 hours of the initial warning and one continuous hour of zero vehicle speed or after refilling fuel tank, vehicle speed will be limited to 5 mph [8 km/h] and 1100 rpm engine speed limit.

DOSING MALFUNCTIONING AND WRONG QUALITY UREA-DEF WARNING INDICATIONS REQUIRE ASSISTANCE OF AN OFFICIAL IRIZAR SERVICE POINT FOR CLEANING OR REPAIRING THE SCR SYSTEM. NOT USING UREA-DEF TO REDUCE POLLUTANT EMISSIONS IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE AND CAN INVALIDATE THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. During winter conditions pay special attention when freezing since the Urea-DEF expands more than water. It is advised not to fill the Urea-DEF tank to more than 75%. The vehicle deactivates the use of Urea-DEF when its temperature is below 14 ºF [-10 ºC].

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

5.8.2. DPF Regeneration System During the first regeneration of the DPF system, the EAS generates excessive smoke. This smoke disappears after some time and does not return with the next regenerations. This smoke is not considered harmful.

The DPF system is used to reduce the soot particles in the exhaust gases. Exhaust gases enter the DPF system where the particulate filter traps soot from the engine exhaust gases.

Regeneration is the process of converting the soot collected in the aftertreatment DPF into carbon dioxide. The regeneration process requires heat to occur, and can be classified into three different levels: • Passive regeneration: If the temperature of the exhaust system rises above a certain level during vehicle use, the soot is burned automatically in the DPF. This is a continuous automatic process, and no indication is shown on the display. This occurs during highway driving or driving with heavy loads. Since passive regeneration occurs naturally, it is considered to be normal engine operation. No fuel is added to the exhaust stream during passive regeneration. • Active regeneration: Active regeneration occurs when the temperature in the exhaust system is not naturally high enough to oxidize the soot collected. To raise the temperature of the exhaust gases, extra fuel is injected into

142

the exhaust and converted into heat in the DPF. The EAS initiates this process and it can occur at any time. Active regeneration starts and stops automatically, depending on vehicle conditions. • Forced stationary regeneration: If the vehicle is operated in such a way that active regeneration does not occur or is not completed, the DPF cannot be cleaned automatically. Examples of such situations include only driving short distances or driving with low engine loads. In these cases, the DPF may exceed the maximum soot level and system warnings are displayed. They advise the driver to perform a forced stationary regeneration. Stationary regeneration is a form of active regeneration that is initiated by the driver when the vehicle is not moving.

To prevent forced stationary regeneration, changing the driving conditions give the vehicle a better chance of conducting mobile regeneration. Driving Conditions for Optimal DPF Regenerations and Fuel Consumption Reduction Additional fuel is used during regeneration, so optimal regeneration and therefore reduction in fuel consumption are achieved during motorway driving. Unfavourable driving conditions for regeneration are city driving and pick-up and delivery: more fuel is needed for regeneration under these conditions. Regular motorway driving is advised to achieve the optimal regeneration conditions and reduce fuel consumption.

How to Stop Regeneration NEVER ALLOW REGENERATION TO START AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING INSIDE A BUILDING. ANY TIME YOU PLAN TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE INTO A HAZARD AREA WHERE REGENERATION CAN BE DANGEROUS, PREVENT REGENERATION FROM OCCURRING BY PRESSING THE OFF POSITION OF THE DPF SWITCH.

As soon as the hazardous situation is cleared, place the DPF switch back in the ON position to allow again the active regeneration. DPF regeneration may cause high exhaust gas temperatures. If there is a risk of fire or other hazardous situation, active DPF regeneration can be stopped or prevented by using the DPF switch in the vehicle. Since active regeneration can occur at any time, the lower position (OFF) of the DPF switch can be pressed any time you are driving into a hazard area where regeneration may be hazardous.

HOT EXHAUST GASES PRODUCED DURING REGENERATION CAN IGNITE AN EXPLOSION, CAUSE A FIRE OR HARM BYSTANDERS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

143

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

High Exhaust System Temperature (HEST) During and shortly after a regeneration event, the gases exiting the exhaust system may reach high temperatures.

Regeneration switch location

A pop-up screen showing a warning symbol and the text 'Regeneration stoppedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is shown on the display:

To make the driver aware of these high temperatures, the High Exhaust System Temperature, HEST, warning indicator lights up as soon as the vehicle speed drops to a level where it may become hazardous. To prevent hazardous situations, the DPF switch can be used to stop regeneration; however, the HEST warning indicator will not disappear while the exhaust gas temperature remains high.

Do not park in an area where people or combustible vapours and materials are less than 2 metres from the vehicle, and always park outdoors. Hot exhaust gases produced during regeneration can ignite an explosion, cause a fire or harm bystanders.

144

Display Notifications The filter soot level information is shown in the instrument panel display by the following bargraph (see Paragraph 3.5):

If the soot level in the DPF exceeds a certain level, the display shows notifications indicating that the DPF must be regenerated. Level 1. Soot level high. Regeneration required It is the first notification that a forced stationary regeneration is required. A pop-up screen showing a warning symbol and the text 'Soot level high regen needed' is shown on the display.

Change your driving route, preferably to motorway driving, so that the vehicle can conduct an active regeneration, or initiate a forced stationary regeneration as soon as circumstances allow it. Follow the instructions described in Paragraph 5.8.2 Initiating a Forced Stationary Regeneration. Level 2. Soot level very high. Start regeneration immediately It is the second notification that a forced stationary regeneration is urgently required. A pop-up screen showing a warning symbol and the text 'Soot level very high regen needed' is shown on the display.

If a forced stationary regeneration is not initiated as soon as safely possible when this notification is shown, a limited time is left before the soot level rises to the highest level. When the soot level reaches the highest level, an official service point must service the vehicle. Level 3. Soot filter full. Service required A pop-up screen showing a warning symbol and the text 'Soot filter full, service required' is shown on the display.

IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE EAS WILL BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. Stop the vehicle as safely as possible and stop the engine. At this point, you can no longer initiate a forced stationary regeneration.

An official Irizar service point must repair the vehicle before it can be driven normally again. Initiating a Regeneration

Forced

Stationary

NEVER INITIATE A FORCED STATIONARY REGENERATION IN A 3 CLOSED BUILDING OR ENCLOSURE, OR IN AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE OR COMBUSTIBLE VAPOURS AND MATERIALS ARE LESS THAN 2 METRES AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS PARK THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE AND AWAY FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLES AND BYSTANDERS, AND MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION, IGNITE A FIRE OR HARM BYSTANDERS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

145

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Carefully read the following instructions to initiate a forced stationary regeneration. If you have any problems or difficulties, contact an official Irizar service point for assistance.

Engaging conditions • The EAS indicates that regeneration is required on the display (soot level 1 or 2). • Vehicle speed 0 mph [0 km/h]. • Park brake is applied. • Engine is running at idle. • Engine brake is not active. • Engine Speed Control is not active. • Engine coolant temperature is at least 150 ºF [65 ºC]. • Transmission is in neutral.

146

If the conditions to start the regeneration are not correct, a message will appear. Disengaging conditions • Vehicle speed above 0 mph [0 km/h]. • Park brake is released. • Engine switched off with the Start/Stop switch. • Engine brake is activated. • DPF switch is in the OFF position. • Engine Speed Control is engaged. • Transmission shifted to a gear. • Accelerator pedal is depressed more than 30%.

Procedure The driver of the vehicle is responsible for taking the necessary precautions, being aware of the surroundings and making sure that no combustibles (materials or vapours) or bystanders are close by before initiating forced stationary regeneration. 1. Pull the vehicle over at a safe location. Forced Stationary Regeneration is not possible during driving. 2. Get out of the vehicle and walk all around the vehicle to make sure that you are at least 2 m away from all combustible materials and no one is in the immediate vicinity of the exhaust. 3. Get back into the vehicle.

4. Press the Regenerate DPF switch (push upper ON position), follow the instructions on the post-warning indication (see Paragraph 3.17) and operate the switch for a second time to initiate a forced stationary regeneration event. 5. Stay close to the vehicle as long as the regeneration is running. During a forced stationary regeneration, engine rpm and noise increase. The display shows the forced stationary regeneration progress (remaining time). On average it will take 50 minutes to complete a forced stationary regeneration. Please do not interrupt a forced stationary regeneration, it will stop automatically.

• Improve the general maneuverability. • Reduce the tires consumption of the driven axle. Forced Stationary Regeneration switch

A pop-up screen showing a warning symbol and the text 'Regeneration started' is shown on the display:

The ETS (Electronic Tag-axle Steering) system manages the added steering axle. This solution is an electro-hydraulic system, which detects the front axle steering angle and actuates hydraulically in the added rear axle. The movement of the added axle varies considering the speed of the vehicle:

5.9. Electronic Tag-Axle Steering To help the driver and to improve the maneuverability of the vehicle, it is possible to use an added steering axle, located on the rear part of the vehicle. With the aid of an added steering system is possible to achieve the following point: • Reduce the minimum steering radius.

• Till 9 mph [15 Km/h] the added axle exactly follows the front axle steering angle. • From 9 mph [15 Km/h] to 15 mph [25 Km/h] the added axle steer in the same direction of the front axle but with less angle. • Over 15 mph [25 Km/h] the added axle is centered.

147

5. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

• Over 28 mph [45 Km/h] the added axle is blocked in the centering position automatically.

When ETS axle is locked a warning icon indicates it. During centering of the axle to the locking position this warning icon flashes. For more information see Paragraph 3.15.

Locked added axle icon

In any case of failures, the added axle stays in the center position. In some circumstances it could be useful to lock the ETS axle in the centering position also below 28 mph [45 Km/h]. For that purpose, there is an ETS lock switch. Once it has been pressed the ETS axle will be centered to the locking position. To unlock it release the switch to the off position.

148

• Safety increases because the load on the vehicle during braking is correctly distributed and the vehicle maintains the steering wheel maneuverability. Added axle locking switch

5.10. Electronically Controlled Air Suspension The air suspension system presents significant advantages in terms of safety and comfort compared to mechanical suspensions. The advantages of this system are:

• Ability to change the chassis level during the maneuvers and loading-unloading. • The kneeling function to facilitate the passengers boarding and disembarkation. The ECAS (Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) system facilitates some chassis lifting and lowering functions. Above 16 mph [25 km/h] the system automatically goes to the standard drive level.

• Maintaining of the same chassis and load position in every use conditions of the vehicle.

The main function of the air suspension system is to maintain the vehicle’s drive level.

• Increase of the passenger’s comfort because the chassis fluctuations are reduced.

Standard drive level is defined by the manufacturer and saved in the control unit through calibration.

There are some service switches used to operate the vehicle height. These service switches can only be operated when the main switch is on and the vehicle speed is lower than 9 mph [15 km/h]. If the actual chassis height is not in conformity with the set parameters, the chassis adjusts itself. The operation of the control unit changes when the vehicle is stationary or in motion. In the first case, the adjustment is performed within 1 second from the detection of out drive level and while running, the control unit corrects the level variations that extend beyond 30 seconds.

THE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM LEVELS ARE THE MECHANICAL UNITS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO RUN WITH THE VEHICLE IN THESE LEVELS. DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT AT NORMAL DRIVING HEIGHT IS NOT PERMITTED BECAUSE IT CAN RESULT IN UNSTABLE VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR. THIS CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

The suspension of the vehicle shall go lowering gradually by pressing the switch downwards and shall go lifting gradually by pressing the switch upwards.

THERE IS THE RISK OF CRUSHING WHEN THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE IS REDUCED OR INCREASED.

The usual driving position is retrieved by pressing on the top of the Kneeling switch.

5.10.1. Suspension Level Control

5.10.2. Kneeling Control This function reduces the height of the vehicle at the front in order to make the vehicle access easier. It can be controlled by the Kneeling Switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

THERE IS THE RISK OF CRUSHING WHEN THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE IS REDUCED.

5.10.3. Traction Aid There is an option to increase the traction in the drive axle by pressing the Traction Aid switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

The vehicle is moving downwards at small down pulses and if the switch is kept pressed, the vehicle shall be moved downwards to the minimum selected in programming.

Coach kneeling icon

To move the vehicle upwards (normal driving position), only a pulse on the upwards position is necessary.

150

The weight of the vehicle rests on three axes. When operating the Traction aid switch the weight that supports the drive axle is increased due to the discharge of the added axle. In this way, the traction of the drive axle is increased during 10 seconds. Then the weight distribution returns to its original state.

SAFETY SYSTEMS

6.1. Lane Departure Warning System Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is a driver assistance system that has the aim of alerting drivers of certain risky situations due to unwanted lane departure situation. The driver may be informed of the alerts through seat vibrations and visual warnings: â&#x20AC;˘ Seat vibrations require seats that are compatible with the LDWS. â&#x20AC;˘ Visual warnings are displayed through light signals in the instrument panel. The driver may deactivate and reactivate the alarm (lane departure) using a disconnection switch.

6.1.1. Objective and Limitations The objective of the LDWS is to help the driver by vibrating the seat when the vehicle crosses over the lane separation line unless the indicator is on.

However, it is clear that the LDWS function may be altered if lines have been completely or partially eliminated, if there is no contrast with the road, if the lines are muddy, or other similar circumstances. LDWS does not substitute or avoid the priority of any of the duties to be carried out by the driver. Therefore, the driver must continue driving with the utmost care, diligence and road safety, strictly following legal norms in force at the time and location of the journey, as well as the best professional practices.

LDWS cannot fully guarantee the detection of all risky situations or avoid them. It does not substitute the essential and priority function of the driver. In summary, it is essential to understand the system and assume that it will not work in situations that affect the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility.

6.1.2. Warnings Displayed to the Driver Name

LDWS is not an automatic or alternate driving system. The driver is the highest and only authority responsible for road safety.

Warning

Description

Inactive

The LDWS is deactivated, lanes are not detected or the system is not properly calibrated.

Left alert

Invasion of the left lane line has been detected.

153

6. SAFETY SYSTEMS

Name

Warning

Right alert

Malfunction

Description Invasion of the right lane line has been detected. The LDWS is not working properly. There may be a malfunction in the system.

6.1.3. Switch On When the vehicle is turned on, the LDWS is activated and launched. Activation may last between 10 and 15 seconds, and then the seat vibrates during 3 seconds to indicate that the system is operating correctly.

6.1.4. Normal Operation The system is activated at speeds higher than 37 mph [60 km/h]. The system does not generate lane line invasion alerts below this speed.

154

The LDWS will determine the position of the vehicle within the lane lines and warn if the limits on either side are surpassed whenever the indicator has not been used to announce the lane lines change. Whenever the driver invades a lane departure without using the indicator to announce the intent to cross the lane departure, the system will alert the driver by turning on the left and right alert warnings (see Paragraph 6.1.2) and vibrating the corresponding side of the seat.

6.1.5. System Activation/ Deactivation Certain road situations may require the driver to travel over the lane separation lines. The driver may deactivate the LDWS if too many alerts are generated. To deactivate the system, simply press the activation/deactivation LDWS switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

Whenever the driver is alerted, the alerts will last 3 seconds and no additional alerts will be generated during the next 20 seconds. However, if the driver changes lane departure and the indicator has been used to announce the maneuver, the system will not alert the driver. The system will also not alert the driver during the 20 seconds following a proper lane departure change maneuver (in which the indicator has been used), even if an incorrect lane departure has occurred during this time period.

LDWS switch

Once it has been deactivated, the system will not generate any driver alerts and the inactivity indicator will turn on. The driver may reactivate the system by pressing the activation/deactivation switch again. Otherwise, the system will automatically reactivate after 10 minutes.

In any case, when the system is reactivated, the inactivity indicator will turn off.

6.1.6. Incorrect Operation LDWS has been designed for properly paved roadways equipped with lane separation lines that are clearly marked. If these circumstances do not exist, the system may not be able to properly detect the lane separation lines.

If LDWS is not operating correctly and the conditions in terms of lighting, the roadway and the lane separation lines are suitable, please contact an authorized Irizar service and request a manual system calibration.

6.2. Automatic Traction Control

On the other hand, poor visibility conditions may directly result in the poor system operation. In this case, the system will alert the driver by activating the inactivity indicator, as long as the vehicle is driving faster than 37 mph [60 km/h]. At lower speeds, the inactivity indicator will only turn on when the driver has deactivated the system by pressing the corresponding switch (see Paragraph 2.3).

Automatic Traction Control (ATC) prevents the driven wheels from slipping when accelerating. ATC makes sure that the vehicle remains stable when driving off on critical road surfaces (especially accelerating when cornering).

It is not permitted to modify the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. If it is moved, the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct operation cannot be guaranteed and a manual system calibration may be required.

When the driven wheels start to slip on one or both sides of the vehicle, ATC becomes active. One or both wheel(s) is/are braked and/or engine power is decreased.

In this way, optimum traction is achieved. If the ATC intervenes, the warning indicator appears on the display of the instrument panel (see Paragraph 3.15).

When the ATC switch (see Paragraph 2.3) is operated, increased wheel slip is permitted.

The Automatic Traction Control (ATC) is also known as Anti Slip Regulation (ASR).

ATC switch

Below a speed of 28 mph [45 km/h], the ATC control is adjusted so that more wheel slip is permitted. This function can be used when driving on loose surfaces. When the ATC switch is used to switch off this function, the warning indicator appears on the display of the instrument panel (see Paragraph 3.15).

155

6. SAFETY SYSTEMS

6.3. Electronic Stability Control

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps the driver to stabilize the vehicle in critical driving situations. If a critical driving situation arises when making turns, for example when the vehicle slips, the ESC intervenes by reducing the engine torque and activating the brake system. A vehicle that is equipped with the ESC may unexpectedly brake hard in certain situations. When the ESC intervenes, the warning indicator appears on the display of the instrument panel (see Paragraph 3.15).

When this warning indicator remains on, the system has a fault. Contact an official Irizar service point.

156

DO NOT ADAPT THE DRIVING STYLE TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF HAVING ESC. ESC DOES NOT RELEASE THE DRIVER FROM THE OBLIGATION TO ADAPT THE DRIVING STYLE TO THE TRAFFIC AND ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS. IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE AGAINST INSTABILITY; IT HELPS THE DRIVER IN UNEXPECTED DIFFICULT SITUATIONS, BUT PHYSICAL LIMITS REMAIN. ESC CANNOT OFFSET THE RESULTS OF DRIVING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OR TAKING A BEND AT TOO HIGH A SPEED. IGNORING THESE MATTERS CAN LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR THE DRIVER BUT ALSO FOR OTHER ROAD USERS.

6.4. Fire Suppression System The vehicle is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system for engine area. Fire Suppression System is optional and the system installed in your vehicle may vary from the explained in this Userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manual. The extinguishing agent, composed of water and antifreeze, is sprayed by special nozzles to transform it into a fog. This fog reduces the temperature and the oxygen content normally in 3-5 seconds and the effect time can be up to 50-75 seconds. The system includes a recipient with extinguishing agent (3), a recipient with detector liquid (4), pipes and nozzles for extinguishing agent (1), a detector tube (2), pressure gauges (5), security screws (6), a warning buzzer and manual activation buttons (see Paragraph 2.3).

5 6

The system is activated hydropneumatically without electricity in automatic fire detection. In case of fire, the detector tube (2) melts and the nitrogen gas inside comes out. When the detection system pressure falls to 101 psi [7 bar], the valve in the extinguisher recipient is opened. Also a warning buzzer is activated in the driver site. Besides, there is a manual activation button with which the driver can activate the extinguisher system. If a fire is detected follow the instructions of Paragraph 8.1.4.

The detector tube (2) and the pipes and nozzles for extinguishing agent (1) are located on the top of the engine compartment. The extinguishing agent recipients (3) and the detector liquid recipient (4) are located in another compartment.

Fire Suppression System Activation Switch

ACTIVATE ONLY THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHEN FIRE IS DETECTED.

After a fire, the warning buzzer is active until manual deactivation. Consult an authorized service for the deactivation. Also note that in order to prevent corrosion in metals and undesirable effects in the electrical system the engine area should be cleaned as soon as possible with water an alkaline detergent. The extinguisher has a security screw hanging from a cable (6) when the system is active. When the screw is placed in the valve prevents the extinguisher to be activated by accident. THE SECURITY SCREW MUST ALWAYS BE PLACED IN THE VALVE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATION/DISASSEMBLY OR DURING TRANSPORT WHEN THE EXTINGUISHER IS PRESSURIZED.

157

6. SAFETY SYSTEMS

IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO REALIZE ANY INTERVENTION IN THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT CONTAINER.

There is an option to test the warning buzzer by pressing the Fire Suppression System Check Switch before driving. If the warning buzzer sounds as long as the switch is pressed it means that the system works properly.

Fire Suppression System Check Switch

The same warning buzzer that is activated when fire is detected may also be activated if the pressure in the recipients is lower than necessary to the correct functioning of the system. However, it is advisable to check before driving that pressure gauges (5) are in the green region.

158

CHECK THE PRESSURE OF EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM RECIPIENTS BY VERIFYING THAT PRESSURE GAUGES ARE IN GREEN REGION.

In such a case, there is a push handle named Emergency Parking Brake (see Paragraph 5.5.3) that releases the spring brakes while it is pressed.

The Fire Suppression System must be checked annually by authorized personnel. Consult an authorized Irizar service point.

6.5. Emergency Displacement of the Vehicle In an emergency situation when personal injury or material damage risk appears there are available some security systems to move the vehicle and avoid that dangerous situations. It may occur that the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking brakes are activated, due to some problem in the vehicle, but the situation requires moving the vehicle quickly.

Emergency parking brake

Furthermore, it may happen that the engine controller detects some problem like engine overheating that forced automatically the vehicle to stop. However, because of the dangerous situation it is needed to start the engine again and move the vehicle to some safe place.

In such a case, the Over Ride Switch (see Paragraph 2.3.) must be used to cancel the automatic engine stop, and allow the forced startup of the engine. Press the lower position of the Over Ride Switch, press the Start/Stop Switch to start up the engine and move the vehicle to a safe place.

Over Ride Switch

EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE PUSH HANDLE AND OVER RIDE SWITCH MUST BE USED ONLY IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE. STOP THE VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN A SAFE PLACE AND PERFORM THE REQUIRED REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. IRIZAR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAD USE AND ABUSE OF THESE SECURITY SYSTEMS.

6.6. Fatigue Control The vehicle is equipped with a camera on the dashboard that observes the face of the driver.

Fatigue Control is optional and the system installed in your vehicle may vary from the explained in this User’s Manual. • The captured image is automatically analyzed to find the eyes of the driver. • Eyes flicker frequency and whether they are open or closed is detected.

• A switch can be pressed to deactivate the system. It works again automatically after 10 minutes or if the switch is pressed again. When the LED is off the system is working but when the LED is on the Fatigue Control is deactivated.

Fatigue Control Switch

The system does not need calibration but it is necessary to adjust the position and orientation of the camera to focus on the driver’s face. Consult an authorized Irizar Service point for any question about the positioning of the camera.

• The system warns by vibrating driver’s seat every 3 seconds when it is detected that the driver starts to fall asleep.

7. ELECTRIC SYSTEM

7.3.1. Replacement of a Fuse REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE WITH ONE OF A HIGHER RATING CAN RESULT IN AN OVERLOAD IN AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. NEVER REPLACE A BLOWN FUSE WITH ONE OF A HIGHER RATING.

ALWAYS CONSULT THE FUSE LABEL FOR THE CORRECT FUSE VALUE. IF A FUSE KEEPS BLOWING REPEATEDLY, THIS INDICATES THAT THE POWER CONSUMPTION IS TOO HIGH OR THAT THERE IS A FAULT IN THE CIRCUIT. AN OFFICIAL SERVICE POINT MUST CHECK THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

170

REPLACING A FUSE WITHOUT OBSERVING THE SAFETY PROCEDURES CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE TO ELECTRIC COMPONENTS OR VEHICLE ELECTRONICS. NEVER REPLACE A FUSE WHILE: • THE MAIN SWITCH IS SWITCHED ON. • THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. • A CONSUMER IS SWITCHED ON.

7.4. Main Switch NEVER OPERATE THE MAIN SWITCH WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

OPERATING THE MAIN SWITCH WHILE DRIVING WILL SWITCH OFF ALL ELECTRIC SYSTEMS AND THE ENGINE. THIS CAN LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRONICS OF THE VEHICLE. ENSURE THAT THE ENGINE START/STOP SWITCH IS PUSHED FOR A MINIMUM OF 90 SECONDS PRIOR TO DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY POWER SUPPLY BY THE MAIN SWITCH. THE EAS AFTER RUN PHASE MUST HAVE ENDED BEFORE OPERATING THE MANUAL MAIN SWITCH. USE THE MAIN SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.

The main switch can be used to interrupt the power supply from the batteries to the vehicle and is either mechanically or electronically operated. For more information about how to use the main switch while starting or stopping the vehicle see Paragraph 5. Electrical main switch The electrical main switch is the usual switch to interrupt the power supply from the batteries and it is located in the dashboard (see Paragraph 2.3). The electronic main switch does not switch off at once when it is operated; this happens with approximately 10 seconds delay. This is to allow the after-running of various electric systems on the vehicle.

Manual main switch When the vehicle is not driving for a long time it is advisable to disconnect the power supply operating the manual main switch. Mechanically operated main switch is usually located outside the driving site in the battery compartment (see Paragraph 7.1). The manual and electrical main switches are in series, for this reason the manual main switch must be closed (power supply connected) in order to enable the electrical main switch.

7.5. Lighting Replacement It is recommendable to carry a set of spare light lamps to replace the most essential ones. To replace lighting lamps, the following general conditions must be met: • The lights are switched off. • The engine is stopped and the Main Switch is switched off. • De-energize the lighting system by removing the fuses for the lights. • Let the lighting unit cool down before touching it. AFTER REPLACING A LIGHT, THE REGULATION OF THE LIGHT MUST BE CHECKED BY AN OFFICIAL SERVICE POINT AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY.

8.5.6. Seats Maintenance Conservation of upholstery The upholstery should be gently cleaned with a vacuum once a week. This will keep the upholstery clean and lengthen its life. Take care not to scrape the upholstery excessively with the vacuum-cleaner nozzles. It should be vacuumed regularly with back and forth movements (following the grain and against the grain).

The carpets should be cleaned thoroughly every six months approx., depending on how dirty they are. These recommendations should be followed: 1. Wool and wool mix trimmings should be wet-cleaned using the “spray-extraction” procedure. This should preferably be done by a professional company, using the most suitable method in each case (wool upholstery shampoo or similar). 2. Synthetic fiber carpets (acrylic, polyester, etc.) can be dry-cleaned, using suitable

240

solvents. It is also advisable to consult a professional when this type of cleaning is to be carried out. 3. Another alternative for both natural and synthetic fiber carpets is dry foam cleaning. The quality of the foam must be ensured and the corresponding instructions for use followed. Once again it is advisable to use the services of a professional. 4. If a steam cleaning systems is used, care must be taken for no drops of water caused by condensation in the nozzle of the cleaning appliance to drip onto the carpet, as this will stain it. It is advisable to consult a specialized company for this type of cleaning. Conservation of Leather The leather should be gently cleaned with the following products to keep it clean and lengthen its life:

• Smooth cotton clothes: Use it preferably on white or light color fabrics for a nonaggressive cleaning as far as the textile roughness is concerned. • Low abrasion brush: For significant dirt accumulation. • Cleaning solution: Neutral PH cleaner being used in all types of leather. Smooth product so as not to have an effect on the original properties of the leather or when the finishing operation. Use it to clean most of dirt, as well as water-based stains. The solution is to be free from solvents so as not to modify the finishing operation or damage the leather. • Conditioner: Water based neutral PH product with moisturizing and touching agents. It is to be applied continuously and properly in order to prevent dirt, water-bases stains and alcoholic or grease stains from being adhered to the leather finishing layer. The dirt adhered to the protecting layer is to be eliminated in further cleaning processes, and this layer is to be replaced after each cleaning process with the cleaning solution.

General Stain Removal Any stains caused to the seat should be removed straight away if possible, before they dry, as otherwise they can be very difficult to remove. If the stain is liquid or grease it should be quickly soaked up with a clean cloth, or a sponge. In the case of splashes from solids or semi-solids, first remove the excess with a spatula or similar. If the stain has dried, gently brush it in order to remove residue, and then absorb it with a damp cloth or a vacuum. Make sure that the surface is completely clean of dry dirt, including the dust, surface residual elements such as hairs, threads, papers, sand grains, ashes, etc. In a container pour water and neutral soap and shake until foam is observe. Wet a microfiber clean cloth with the foam and brush the stain lightly from the outside of the stain to inwards, in order to progressively reduce its size.

Keep in mind that cleaning stains may be very difficult and in some cases totally impossible if the stain is on flat-weave lining (interior lining or seats with flat weaves). Irizar shall not be responsible for cleaning or for the damages that may result from these stains. Cleaning with cleaner solution Carry out these cleaning operations with cleaner solution on a monthly basis as a minimum. Depending of the dirt, apply the cleaner solution on a cloth or a low-abrasion sponge. Rub gently up to the initial aspect is recovered and dry immediately with a clean cloth. In case of extreme dirt, it is recommended to rub twice or three times gently instead of one energetic rubbing. At no time will alcohol, acetone, bleach, solvents or detergents, graffiti-removing solutions, perchlorethylene, trichlorethylene or other abrasive cleaning products to be used.

8.6. W.C. Depending on the model the vehicle can be equipped with a restroom unit (WC). The elements located in the WC are operating when the Main Switch is activated. Even so, it may be possible to activate the elements located in the WC by a different switch according to customer request.

When showing the TPMS Ready screen, the display will show TPMS Ready and a tire icon.

Proper tire pressure reduces the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Tire pressure directly affects the road handling, so it is vital importance to apply correct tire pressure.

9.5. TPMS The TPMS system is connected to the instrument panel display (see Paragraph 3) and to the TPMS display (see Paragraph 2.7). In both displays pressures and temperatures in the tires can be checked. Then, information about the TPMS system is explained including its display.

During initialization, the display receives vehicle configuration data and tire pressure/ temperature parameters from the receiver. After approximately 10 seconds, the display will show the “TPMS Ready” screen indicating that the system is ready to receive tire data from the sensors.

When the vehicle is driven over 14 mph [24 km/h], the tire sensors will activate and TPMS will begin to receive tire data. While the vehicle is in motion, the sensors will measure tire pressure and temperature every 12 seconds and transmit tire data approximately every 3 – 5 minutes. If an Alert icon (triangle with an exclamation mark) is displayed on the TPMS Ready screen, a tire pressure or temperature condition has been detected and should be investigated / corrected before the vehicle is driven.

9.5.1. Getting Started When the vehicle’s main switch is turned on, the TPMS system will power up and the display will indicate that the system is initializing.

247

9. WHEELS AND TIRES

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CORRECT TIRE PRESURE BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN (SEE PARAGRAPH 4.4).

9.5.2. Checking Tire Temperature, Pressure and Pressure Deviation Check tires only when the vehicle is stopped and in a safe location and never check tire status when the vehicle is in motion and driverÂ´s attention is on the road.

If the TPMS ready screen shows an alert icon but no tire icon, the display has not received any tire programming information from the receiver.

TPMS displays tire status information by axle using various axle screens. Each axle programmed in the display has a corresponding axle screen.

The following diagram outlines the different screen elements of the axle screens. 1

Standard tire sensors transmit data once every 15 minutes while stationary. They contain a motion switch and will send data regularly once the vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 14 mph [22 km/h].

where: 1. Axle Designator. 2. Un-Selected Tire Icon. 3. Temperature. 4. Pressure. 5. Units of Measure. 6. Pressure Deviation. 7. Selected Tire Icon. Take into account the following considerations to check the tire pressure, temperature and pressure deviation: 1. Starting from the TPMS Ready screen, press the right button once and the display shows the first axle screen starting at the front of the vehicle with one tire position highlighted. The pressure, temperature and pressure deviation information displayed is for the selected tire.

2. To move to the next wheel on the vehicle, press the right button once. The next tire in sequence is highlighted and its pressure, temperature and pressure deviation reading is displayed. Each time the right button is pushed, the next tire in sequence is selected and its information displayed. Pressing the right button when the last tire on the axle is selected re-selects the first tire on that axle. 3. To move to the next axle on the vehicle, press the left button once. Once again, pressing the right button scrolls the display to the next tire on that axle. Each time the left button is pressed the display shows the next axle on the vehicle. When the left button is pressed from the last axle screen programmed in the display, the first axle is shown once again. 4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until all desired wheel positions and axles have been checked. 5. To exit back to the “TPMS Ready” screen, press the center button once.

9.5.3. Audible and Visual Alerts Pressure Deviation Alert The Pressure Deviation Alert is the first indicator of an underinflated tire. If a tire deviates 10% from its “proper” inflation pressure, the driver is alerted to the condition by an indicator light and an audible alarm (optional). The TPMS calculates a tire’s proper inflation pressure by first mathematically calculating the amount of pressure that is supposed to be in the tire based on its operating temperature and its cold inflation pressure setting, and then comparing this calculated value to the actual, measured pressure value of the tire. The pressure deviation value that is displayed is the difference between the actual pressure and the calculated correct pressure. This temperature compensation calculation enables TPMS to provide pressure deviation values and alerts even when a tire is hot.

The default setting triggers the pressure deviation alert when a tire is 10% under- or over-inflated. This setting can be customized by the user. The alert can also be customized to be a fixed pressure alert rather than a temperature compensated alert. The units of measure can also be customized to PSI, bar, or kPa. The acronym for the Pressure Deviation Alert is FAL for First Alert Level.

249

9. WHEELS AND TIRES

Critical Low Pressure Alert The Critical Low Pressure Alert is the second indication of an underinflated tire. It alerts the driver when a tire’s pressure falls 20% below the programmed Cold Inflation Pressure (CIP) value. This visual and audible (optional) alert is intended to alert the driver to a critical tire condition in order for them to take immediate precautions.

Unlike the Pressure Deviation Alert, the default setting for the Critical Low Pressure Alert does not include the temperature compensation calculation. As such, if a tire’s pressure falls below the default setting, the tire is critically under-inflated and should be addressed immediately. Like the Pressure Deviation Alert, the default settings for the Critical Low Pressure Alert can be customized by the user. The alert can also be set to be temperature compensated. The acronym for the Critical Low Pressure Alert is SAL for Second Alert Level. High Temperature Alert The High Temperature Alert warns the driver when a tire’s temperature exceeds 195 °F [90 ºC].

High tire temperatures are typically caused by under-inflation and the TPMS system will usually provide a Pressure Deviation Alert and a Critical Low Pressure Alert well in advance of a High Temperature Alert. If triggered on its own, the High Temperature Alert can be an indication of an alternative problem, such as a dragging brake or a bearing failure. Like the other two alerts, the default High Temperature Alert setting can be customized by the user. Acronym for the high temperature alert is Over Temp.

250

Sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code Alert

Low Sensor Battery Alert

A Sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code Alert will be issued for any programmed sensor that has not reported its data to the Gateway receiver within 35 minutes of the last transmission.

A Low Sensor Battery Alert will be displayed for a given sensor when it is near the end of its battery life. Typically, a low sensor battery alert will be triggered when the battery reaches 2.1 Volts and below. The sensor should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid a continuous sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code from being issued by the same tire location.

Sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code Alerts are self-clearing as soon as data is received from the given sensor. Prolonged Sensor Diagnostic Trouble Codes can indicate damaged or missing sensors and should be examined further.

9.5.4. Reacting to Audible and Visual Alerts BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN A SAFE LOCATION WHEN AN ALERT IS TRIGGERED IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. TIRE VEHICLES SHOULD ALWAYS BE CORRECTED BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. TPMS Gauge When a TPMS tire alert is triggered, the indicator light illuminates, an audible alarm sounds (optional), and an icon appears on the TPMS Ready screen. To access the alert, press the left button once. For both pressure alerts, the affected tire and axle will be indicated along with a number indicating the amount of pressure the tire has lost.

POSITION THE JACK ONLY UNDER THE JACK UP POINT ATTACHMENT OF THE REAR AXLE WHEN THE REAR AXLE MUST BE JACKED UP. TO PREVENT DEFORMATION OF THE AXLE HOUSING, THE JACK MUST UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE AXLE HOUSING OR THE DIFFERENTIAL CASING. TENSION CAN BE PRESENT IN A CRACKED OR DAMAGED RIM THAT HOLDS AN INFLATED TIRE. THE RIM OR TIRE MAY CRACK OR BURST WHEN THE WHEEL IS CHANGED. THIS CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND SERIOUS INJURY. ALWAYS DEFLATE THE TIRE IF A WHEEL WITH A CRACKED OR DAMAGED RIM IS REMOVED.

DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY A JACK. • Remove the nuts and take out the wheel to be replaced.

9.7.3. Spare Wheel Installation • Prior to fitting the new wheel, clean the surface of the rim at the zone where the nuts will be fixed and apply a bit of grease to provide a good contact between both surfaces. Insufficient cleaning may cause vibrations during driving or braking.

• Move the vehicle downwards by operating on the jack down to the floor level. Once the jack has been removed, tighten diagonally the nuts with a tightening pressure of 295 lb·ft [400 Nm]. A WHEEL THAT ROLLS OFF A VEHICLE CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. RE-TORQUE THE WHEEL NUTS AFTER 62 MI [100 KM], AFTER A WHEEL CHANGE, OR IF THE WHEEL NUTS HAVE BEEN LOOSENED.

• Fit the new wheel and secure it with the nuts without tightening all their way. Uneven tightening of the wheel nuts may cause vibrations during driving or braking.

The proper maintenance of such a protection (necessary in addition for the maintenance of the warranty) implies the following operations: • Cleaning on a yearly basis of the bottom pieces of the coach (after the winter season). Cleaning shall be made with an aqueous solution with PH between 6.7 and 7.5. • When driving on roads with salt or excrements from animals, the bottom pieces of the coach has to be cleaned with such an aqueous solution. On no account shall such dirt be left for longer than 7 days adhered to the bottom pieces of the coach.

If the bottom pieces of the vehicle present any corrosion starting points (irrespective of their origin), you should repair such a defect as soon as possible in an authorized Irizar service and never 3 months later than the time they appeared. Remind that if the vehicle circulates through poorly conditioned roads where the bottom pieces are subject to continuous stone impacts, the protection applied mighty be damaged and, in such a case, the warranty of the bottom pieces of the coach presenting damage by impacts would become exempted. Certain recommendations must be taken into account as regards bodywork maintenance:

For correct conservation of the paintwork it should be washed frequently, following these recommendations: Temperature: It must not be cleaned in full sunlight or at excessively low temperatures. It is always recommendable to wait until the surfaces cool down. Water: Use non-calcareous water which does not have a very basic pH. The maximum temperature should be 104º F [40º C]. The bodywork must be thoroughly wet. Shampoos and Detergents:

NEVER DRY-CLEAN BODYWORK.

THE

FOR CLEANING PAINT- WORK OR PLASTIC PARTS NEVER USE AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS SUCH AS PETROL, TRICHLOROETHYLENE, ALCOHOL, STRONG BLEACH, ETC.

If shampoo is used, it should be rinsed off with large amounts of water and then dried with chamois leather, leaving no water marks on the paint. If detergents are used, they should not be alkaline and should have a pH of from 6 to 8, and preferably be free from caustic soda in order to avoid acceleration of corrosion.

11. MAINTENANCE

Washing procedure:

Polishing the paintwork:

Maintenance of the engine zone:

It is recommendable to wash the coach by hand or with a water jet machine, as these methods are non-aggressive to paintwork. Avoid as far as possible washing the coach in a roller machine as this can damage its paintwork: washing tunnel rollers can cause matting (i.e. they remove the gloss) of the paintwork. If it is necessary to use a roller machine, hose down the coach beforehand in order eliminate any grit residues.

This must be done when the winter season finishes. The bodywork must be completely clean and dry. Use non-abrasive products. Spread a thin film over the surface with a fine cloth. When it dries (5-10 minutes), proceed to dry it off with another clean cloth, rubbing until the surface is clean. The wax and polish used must be silicon-free.

Check on a half-yearly basis the condition of the engine zone insulation. Check that it is properly stuck to the body. Check that it has not become strained or reheated by the heat given off from the engine.

Cleaning the windows:

The use of silicon-based products is not recommended. Use products specifically designed for these components or just soap and water. Tar stains on bodywork: Remove the stains as quickly as possible. Do not scrape or use petrol or stain-remover material. Use special products and wash the affected area after removing the stains.

264

THIS OPERATION MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT IN FULL SUNLIGHT OR AT TEMPERATURES OF OVER 104ยบ F [40ยบ C]. Removal of graffiti: Graffiti must never be removed with solvents, as this is not the correct procedure and solvents are extremely aggressive to the original paint. It is recommended to use specific graffiti removal products.

For the engine cleaning, do not use abrasive products which might damage the insulation. Use cleaning agents with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. Clean and remove all of the products (oil, grease or similars) which might be stuck or impregnated.

11.2. Maintenance Chart In order to assure security and economy of operation or your vehicle, as well as keeping its value, it is essential to perform all maintenance operations following the correct intervals; according to what is specified. The driving style and the care given to the vehicle directly influence the condition of the vehicle.
