o, it’s not the latest dance move. It’s the way
most drivers go about climbing into the driver’s
compartment of their Bradleys.
Sure it’s a tight Ft and it’s not exactly easy
to see where you’re putting those size 12s. But
with all the knobs, switches, and panels down
there, it’s just too easy to put a careless foot
down in a place that goes CRUNCH!
One place in particular that you need to
avoid is the automatic Fre extinguisher system
(A±ES) panel. One sharp kick there can crack
the panel and—in rare instances—even cause an
accidental discharge.

Just

compartment!
Make AFES panel a
“foot-free” zone
So take it slow
and settle into that
driver’s seat without
causing any damage.
And save those
other moves for
the
dance floor.
