Access keys are keyboard shortcuts for visitors to use either the keyboard or a screen-reader as the main interface for navigating a website. The access keys allow you to quickly and easily access all the main areas of the site.
Mac users press and hold the ' Ctrl ' key along with the access key to automatically send you to the requested page.
The access keys below are used on this site:
' Alt ' + ' 0 ' - Link to accessibility page.
' Alt ' + ' 1 ' - Link to homepage.
' Alt ' + ' 2 ' - Link to 'Skip to main content'.
' Alt ' + ' 4 ' - Link to search (places cursor in the search form box at the top of the page).
Images and alt tags
AGCO Finance have tried not to use excessive graphics within our site, & download times have been reduced.
The images that AGCO Finance have used in this site include 'Alt' tags which are text alternatives to the image – this allows users to understand what the image conveys, if it doesn't load, if you are browsing with the images switched off, or are using assistive technology to browse the website.
Resizable Text
AGCO Finance have not fixed the size of textual information on our website so that font size can be altered to suit your requirements.
There are a number of ways to change the text size in your browser; the easiest way is to follow the steps below
Internet Explorer and Firefox
- Select the 'View' menu.
- Select the 'Text Size' option from the menu.
- Click on the text size you wish to view.
You can also increase & decrease the size of the text by holding down the Ctrl key whilst using the scroll wheel on your mouse or the ‘+’ (plus) and ‘-‘ (minus) keys.
