Using this Manual

The Motor Vehicle Policy Manual has now been converted from pdf format to a web-based environment and has a new look with improved navigation and a search function. Policy content has not changed and the numbering remains the same.

Policy Number 

Each policy is indexed with a numeric indicator. The coding system for policies reflects the section, subsection and number.

Example Policy Number 1.05.01 - Automated Agents

  • 1 - Name of the manual in which the policy is located (Administration Policy Manual).
  • .05 - The sub-section within the section of the manual (Inventory Procedures).
  • .01 - Policy number within the sub-section (Automated Agents).

Hypertext Links

Hypertext links are highlighted in a light blue color and underlined. To view a linked document, move the cursor over the link and click the mouse. 

Search

Use the search function to locate documents that contain:

  • All the search terms you type in.
  • The exact phrase you type in.
  • At least one of the words you type in.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs appear horizontally across the top of a web page, below the manual name.  They provide links back to each previous page

that the user navigated through in order to get to the current page.  Breadcrumbs provide a trail for the user to follow back to the starting/entry point of a website.  See the following example: 

MV Home >> 2 Client Services >> 00 Client >> 2.00.01 Client Types
