Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during
Autostop)
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. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.

Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to vehicle battery
condition, the power output of the
generator has to be increased. This
will be achieved by an idle boost
which may be audible.
On vehicles with Uplevel-Display, a
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require a higher
or lower steering effort.

Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until
it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 15 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.
