If the brakes are operated continuously on
downhill stretches, the friction surfaces can
overheat, thus reducing the braking efficien-
cy. Never drive with the engine off!
In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow,
ice, mud, etc.), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brak-
ings or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip
and fall down.
Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation
of the ground.
Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications
painted on the road surface, building site metal
plates become rather slippery by rain. For this rea-
son all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided,
driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as
possible.
Always use the turn indicators timely when you in-
tend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and
dangerous movements.

After the first 500 kilometres, carry out the
checking operations indicated in the column
"After running-in" of the PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE CHART, see p. 26, in order to avoid hurting
yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehi-
cle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its cor-
rect functioning and its correct functioning.
If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many
bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the
brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
For the first 500 km, keep to the following indications:
0-300 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than one half for
long stretches.
300-500 km
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than three-
fourths for long stretches.

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
