What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving a Business Vehicle for the First Time?
2 Answers
When driving a business vehicle for the first time, the primary thing to note is to press the accelerator lightly. Below is a brief introduction to business vehicles: 1. Basic Information: Business Vehicle - MPV. MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle, which is a versatile automobile. It combines the functions of a sedan, station wagon, and van. Every seat inside can be adjusted and configured in various ways. For example, the backrest of the middle row seats can be folded down to form a table, and the front seats can rotate 180 degrees. 2. Development Trend: In recent years, MPVs have tended to become more compact, leading to the emergence of so-called S-MPVs, where 'S' stands for Small. S-MPVs typically have a length between (4200—4300) mm, a compact body, and usually accommodate (5-7) seats. Examples of business vehicles include the Buick Business Vehicle, Ruifeng, Dongfeng Fengxing, Toyota Previa, Mercedes-Benz Viano, Mercedes-Benz Vito, and others.
When driving a commercial vehicle for the first time, you need to get used to its size. Commercial vehicles are much wider than regular cars, so extra caution is required when turning. Especially when changing lanes, the blind spots are significantly larger—check the mirrors multiple times to ensure safety. On narrow roads, it's best to have passengers assist by watching or roll down the windows in advance to judge distance by sound. Brake earlier than usual, as the heavier weight means longer braking distances than expected, and tailgating increases the risk of rear-end collisions. In parking lots, always use the rearview camera when reversing, and avoid squeezing into tight parallel parking spots to prevent costly scratches. On highways, the noticeable wind resistance makes the steering feel lighter, so beginners are advised not to exceed 100 km/h.
