Driving hints

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function when
the engine is not running, e.g. brake
servo unit, power steering. Driving in
this manner is a danger to yourself
and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 127.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Floor mats 3 234.

Steering

If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.

Emergencies

Damage to the high voltage
battery or high voltage system can
create a risk of electric shock,
overheating, or fire.
If the vehicle has been damaged
or affected by a moderate to
severe crash, it must be inspected
as soon as possible by qualified
personnel. Until the technical
inspection has been carried out,
the vehicle must be stored outside
at a minimum distance of
5 metres from any structure or
other flammable objects.
Driving and operating
If the vehicle has been damaged
or affected by flood or fire, it must
not be moved at all and has to be
inspected by qualified personnel
as soon as possible.
