Driving hints

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not
running (except during
Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 104.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Power steering
Never leave the steering wheel on full
lock when the vehicle is stationary as
this may damage the power steering
pump.
Starting and operating

New vehicle running-in

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
Do not drive the vehicle
unnecessarily hard or at high engine
speeds during the initial running-in
period.
Fuel and engine oil consumption may
be higher during the running-in
period.
