Exiting From the Driver Side

sdp dm 02.04.003

To exit the cab from the driver side:

Caution: Always face in when exiting the cab. Do not attempt to exit with your back to the cab as you would going down a flight of stairs. It is easier to slip or lose your balance when exiting this way, and there is a greater likelihood of personal injury.

  1. Place any items you wish to take in an accessible location on the seat or cab floor and make sure they will not get in your way as you exit.
  2. Facing inward, grasp the steering wheel with your left hand and the B-pillar grab handle with your right hand.
  3. Place your left foot on the top step.
  4. Move your left hand to the door panel integrated grab handle, and your right hand lower down the B-pillar grab handle.
  5. Move your right foot onto the step.
  6. Step to the second step or ground with your left foot first, sliding your grasp down the grab handle. If there is another step down, place your right foot down first and then your left.
  7. Release the grab handles or other handholds.
  8. Retrieve any items from the cab that you wish to take with you.
