Position the gearshift lever in accordance with the road conditions
• If you suddenly use the engine brake on an icy or slippery
road, the vehicle might slide and get in an accident. Use the
engine brakes after fully reducing your vehicle speed
• If you repeatedly apply your brakes on a long downgrade,
they may overheat, their effectiveness decreases and an
accident might occur. When on a long downgrade, use the
engine brake together with your brakes
If you suddenly apply the engine brake while travellingat a high
speed, the engine may get damaged. Slow down the vehicle
speed and then downshift the gear.

forecast, prepare thoroughly and check the fuel level, brake
system, cooling system, and tyres

movements
