Exiting from the Driver's Side
m2 dm 02.02.003
To exit the cab from the driver's side, do the following steps (Fig.):
- If you wish to take any items with you, after you exit the cab, place them in an accessible location on the seat or cab floor. Make sure they will not get in your way as you exit.
- Grasp the steering wheel with both hands. Place your left foot on the top step, and stand on the threshold, facing into the cab.
- Move your right hand to the B-pillar grab handle.
- Move your right foot to the bottom step.
- Move your left hand to the B-pillar grab handle.
- Step to the ground with your left foot first.
- Retrieve from the cab any items that you wish to take with
you.
Note: You can also use the inner door grab handle, if available, as a support when getting up or down from the bottom step.
Important: Do not attempt to exit the cab while carrying any items in your hands.
Warning: 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. If you slip when exiting in this way, there is a greater likelihood of personal injury.
