5 Operation of EFAS – Driver and Co-Driver
5.1

Before Starting

Before starting your trip, you must insert your driver card into the left-hand slot (with chip side up). Your
card will be read. Your name, the date and the time of your last card withdrawal will be displayed
Next, the display shows the question "Complete Activities?" If so, select YES with the control keys, press
OK and follow the instructions in section 5.5.
If you do not want to complete your activities, select NO with the control keys and press OK.
Subsequently, select the country where your working day begins. Use the control keys to select the
country code and press OK.
If a co-driver is present, he must insert his driver card into the right-hand slot and conduct the same
procedure. When the co-driver takes over the vehicle, the cards must be exchanged so that the driver-
card of the person operating the vehicle is always in the left-hand slot.
5.2

Automatic Settings

The digital tachograph EFAS makes a number of automatic settings.
Whenever the vehicle starts, the digital tachograph automatically changes to driving time for the
driver and to availability for the co-driver.
Whenever the vehicle stops, the digital tachograph EFAS automatically changes to work period for
the driver. If less than 2 minutes pass between stopping and re-starting, the digital tachograph can-
cels the automatic change from driving time to work period.
Whenever the ignition is turned off, EFAS is able to change automatically to a programmed driver
activity, see also section 6.
5.3

Time Zones

Since your vehicle may move within different time zones, all logs and entries are in UTC time. UTC time
is a standardised world time without daylight saving time. Print-outs can be based either on UTC time or
local time. However, only print-outs in UTC-time are compliant with legal requirements. For the sake of
simplicity, times are often entered in local time.
If you have set the time zone correctly for EFAS, the digital tachograph displays the local time on all
standard displays during the journey. This is shown by the so called "time dot" (e.g. 17:23 ) which is
displayed after the time (contrastingly, with UTC time no such "time dot" is displayed). Whenever a time
entry is required, please check whether the system requires UTC time or local time.
In most central European countries, UTC time during the winter is one hour earlier than local time. In the
winter, one hour has to be deducted from local time to calculate UTC time. In the summer, two hours
have to be deducted from local time to calculate UTC time.
