Anti-slewing system
When reversing an articulated bus, the trailer coach may
slew to such an angle that the chassis or gaiter may be dam-
aged. There is a warning light and automatic brake system
fitted to prevent this from occurring.
Slewing warning
This warning light goes on when the angle between the bus
and the coach approaches the critical value (can occur
when reversing). Like all other red warning lights, this one
will activate the central warning lights.
Slewing brake
If the trailer coach does not stop slewing, the slewing brake
will automatically stop the bus.
Emergency disengagement of slewing brake
Press in this switch to continue after the slewing brake has
been applied. As long as the critical angle is exceeded, this
switch must be held in so that the bus can be manoeuvred
(straightened).
Door brake
The warning light goes on when the brake system is applied
for opening the exit doors or kneeling. Goes out when the
doors are closed or kneeling has returned to normal posi-
tion.
Instruments and controls
Light is on: do not drive!
Emergency disengagement of slewing brake
Slewing warning
Be extremely careful when operating emergency

from being damaged.
