• Whenever the vehicle stops, the digital tachograph auto-
matically changes to work period for the driver. If less than
2 minutes pass between stopping and re-starting, the
digital tachograph cancels 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 the section
"Automatic Setting of Activities after Igni-
tion OFF/ON" on page 58.
1.4.5 Time Zones
Since your vehicle may move within different time zones
(see chapter 13.1 on page 119), all logs and entries are in
UTC time. UTC time is a standardised world time without
daylight saving time. All entries must be made in UTC 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.
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 flashing colon
between the hours and minutes (in UTC time the colon
does not flash). However, all entries have to be made in
UTC time.
Note
Please refer to chapter "Time Zone" on page 70 for setting the
time zone.
Note
A list of nation and region codes with corresponding time zone
offset values can be found in chapter
"Nation & Region Codes,
Time Zones" on page 119.
