Driving on Gradients
When climbing gradient, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, shift to a lower gear
and apply power smoothly so that there is
no loss of traction. When driving down a
hill, the engine braking should be used by
shifting into a lower gear. Do not drive in
neutral gear or switch off the engine.
Driving on Highway
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take rest
at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.
SEAT BELTS

your vehicle’s seat belt, airbag and Child
restraints system. Please read and follow
all these instructions carefully to minimise
risk of severe injury or death.
Seat belts are the primary restraints •
system in the vehicle. All occupants,
including the driver, should always
wear their seat belts to minimize the
risk of injury.
Sit back and adjust the front seat.

a good driving position and the back of

into the lock buckle until you hear a
“CLICK” which indicates that the seat
belt is securely locked.

WARNING
On long and steep gradients you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shift-
ing early to a lower gear. This allows
you to take advantage of the engine
braking effect and helps avoid over-
heating of service brakes resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
