SPEED
You may often under-estimate
the speed of your Transporter
at first.
Special attention should be paid, therefore, to the speedometer during the
initial driving period.
SAFETY
FIRST
Safety for yourself, and safety for others, this is what counts most. Your
Transporter is a vehicle with unequalled road holding, cornering stability
and acceleration.
Do not allow the feeling of security and safety which
you will acquire after a few miles to make you careless.
Therefore, adjust the speed of your Transporter
to the conditions
of road,
traffic and weather, and always be ready to bring it to a stop when it is neces-
sary. Be particularly
careful when driving on
wet
or icy roads, for even a
T
ransporter is apt to skid when not driven carefully under such condi-
tions.
PASSING
OTHER VEHICLES
Pass other vehicles with consideration.
Always be sure that the road is clear
ahead of you, and look out for vehicles approaching you from the opposite
direction. A brief look in your rear view mirror will tell you whether another
vehicle is about to pass you from behind. If you have to shift to a lower gear,
do it before, not while, passing other vehicles.
And here is another warning: Never try to overtake when approaching
a
curve, where vision is not clear, and never overtake at the crest of a hill or at
crossroads. You never can tell what lies ahead of you.
Be fair and do not accelerate when another car tries to pass you. You will
endanger your life and those of others.
