Common features.
1. Fuel - this vehicle is equipped with GFS fuel system. It uses DIESEL FUEL. It has one fuel tank, accessible from the right side. Fuel capacity is roughly 26 gallons(100 liter).
2. Electricity - this vehicle is equipped with two batteries and
electricity
consumption system. Batteries are located under the vehicle, next to the main door. The system supports all
GEMC batteries types, so you can choose your favorites. OEM batteries
for this vehicle provide 80Ah output each.(see Batteries and electrical devices policy update for details).
3. Gearbox - Iwaki B-series bus is equipped with manual 5 speed gearbox. You
can switch between positions with E/C or PgUp/PgDn buttons.
Gearbox positions:
Transmission lock - vehicle physics off;
R - Reverse;
N - Neutral;
1 through 5 - Forward gears.
The vehicle is equipped with innovative cruise control system. You can engage it by tapping W/Up key when in one of forward gears. System will be disengaged when you touch W/Up key again, or brake. You can select your desired speed using buttons on UniHUD, or by going to vehicle's menu, "Vehicle" - "SpeedLimit+"/"SpeedLimit-". This system is similar to the one I used on ZAMANI Ravago.
4. Starting sequence - this vehicle is equipped with realistic
startup
procedure. Click the ignition key on the dashboard once to turn the
ignition on, and then
click+hold the key to crank up the engine. Depending on vehicles's
conditions, startup
time may vary.
Additionally you can start the vehicle via UniHUD(see below). To do so,
press the key button. Keep it pressed until the engine starts.
3rd method of starting the engine is to use gesture(gestures can be
obtained from the UniHUD(question mark button - Gestures). In this case,
the whole sequence is played automatically.
Useful tips: If you want to speed up the proccess, use your primer pump until it won't budge, this way you'll pre-fill your fuel system and remove the need for the engine to do this job. Additionally you can evacuate excessive air pressure from the cylinders by using your decompression lever, in this case the starter will spin up the engine quicker, and all you have to do is to put the decompression lever back into default position when you start hearing some combustion going.
4.1 Hand cranking - in case of dead batteries, you can hand crank the engine to make it start. To do so, first turn the ignition key to ON position, then open the bonnet, locate the cranking handle mounted inside the engine compartment, click it to insert it through a slit in a front bumper. Then click the decompression level to evacuate excessive pressure from the engine's cylinders. Now you can click and hold the cranking handle to spin the engine. It will take a bit of time. When you begin hearing occasional combustion and see the exhaust smoke, quickly put the decompression lever into default position, the engine will start right away.
Make sure to use your primer pump to fill up the fuel lines so the startup takes less time.

GEMC UniHUD, which means dynamic controls layout and simple operation.

Passengers can change their seats by using the bus menu, or their
UniHUD(obtained from the vehicle). Passengers can also adjust their positions by using the bus menu or their UniHUD.
Driver can use "Eject" function on their UniHUD to eject unwanted occupants.
9. GTFO! support - this vehicle supports GTFO! system(https://sl-gtfo.com)
out of the box. By default, this vehicle uses its built-in luggage for GTFO! visuals(roof rack must be enabled), but you can attach your prims
to it and use them as a cargo. To do so, change the description of your
cargo prims to "CARGO"(without quotation marks). This will make
those prims elegible for participation in our cargo
loading/unloading scripted sequence. Cargo prims will be loaded starting
with the ones that are placed deeper inside the vehicle, and going
towards the outside. Unloading is performed in reverse.
10. Customizing - click the vehicle to get the menu, then
click "Customize..." button, and you'll be presented with a number of
customizing options. These include 11 pre-made colors, 11 pre-made
liveries, an option to add a
custom livery, dynamic license plates(LHD versions use new NTBI GLPS system), and a number of other addons such as cargo rack, mud flaps,
ability to add custom route signs and so on. Additionally you can modify
the
vehicle using SL's building tool. Please make sure to turn the
vehicle's
