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 3 106.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Driving and operating
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.
Caution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
