5 Driving

5.1

Before driving for the first time...

Before you take your first trip, you should familiarise yourself well with the operation of the vehicle
and with all operating elements. Take your time to test all functions and driving modes.

NOTE:

If installed, use the restraining systems (seat belts) each time you use the vehicle.

Sitting Comfortably = Driving Safely

Before each trip, make sure that:

•

You are within easy reach of all operating controls.

•

The battery charge is sufficient for the distance intended to be covered.

•

The seatbelt is in perfect order.
