German term or phrase: Fahrzeug in Arbeitsfahrbetrieb nehmen
Es geht um ein Sprühfahrzeug für Bitumenemulsion. Mit Arbeitsfahrbetrieb ist gleichzeitige Fahren, Heizen UND Sprühen gemeint.

Vorschlag "Start vehicle working drive operation". Klingt schwach meiner Meinung nach.

put(ting) the vehicle into (full) operating mode
Explanation:
"Full" might be added to stress the "full-fledged" operating mode including driving, heating and spraying, as opposed to just driving (or "travelling" along the road/route).

agree  Ken Cox: In practice, you probably have a switch labelled 'Heat' and a switch labelled 'Spray'. You switch on the heater, wait until the emusion is hot, start driving and switch on spraying, and guess what: that's Arbeitsfahrbetrieb.
