DRIVING INFORMATION
Control Of A Vehicle
Never coast with engine not running
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.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is uninhib-
ited, there must be no mats in the area of
the pedals.
Emergency Actions
Caution
Do not operate starter motor for more
than 10 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, wait 10
seconds before trying again.
This will prevent starter motor
damage and battery discharge.
Driving and Operating
Puncture during driving
When driving, turn on the hazard
flashers if a tire is punctured. Hold the
steering wheel firmly, lift your foot off
the accelerator pedal, and slow the
vehicle gradually. Press the brake pedal
gently and drive the car into a safe area
to change the tire.
Warning
Do not brake suddenly when a tire is
punctured. Sudden braking may
cause the vehicle to swing to one side
and cause accidents.
Faults during driving
When a fault occurs while driving, turn
on the hazard flashers. Park the vehicle
in a safe area at the roadside.
A warning triangle should be placed
behind the vehicle at a distance of 50 m
during the day or 100 m at night.
