Driving hints
The first 600 miles (1000 km)
Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do
not use full throttle. Never allow the engine
to labour at low revs.
Make good use of all gears. Depress the
accelerator pedal a maximum of around
three quarters of the available pedal travel
in all gears and drive ranges.
Do not drive faster than three quarters of
maximum speed.
The information concerns the engine and
parts of the power train, e.g. the final drive.
Never coast with engine not
running
Many units will then not function (e.g. turn
signals, brake servo unit, power steering,
airbag system). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
Brake servo unit
With the engine not running the brake
servo unit is no longer effective once the
brake pedal has been depressed once or
twice. The braking effect is not reduced but
substantially greater foot pressure is
necessary to stop the vehicle.
Power steering
Never leave the steering wheel on full lock
when the vehicle is stationary as this may
damage the power steering pump.
If the power steering should fail - e.g. when
the vehicle is being towed with the engine
switched off - the vehicle can still be
properly steered but considerably greater
effort is necessary.
Driving in mountainous terrain or
with caravan / trailer
Electrically driven fan: The fan cooling
capacity is not dependant on engine
speed. It is not necessary, therefore, when
driving uphill to shift down into a lower
gear if the vehicle can climb in a higher
gear.
Driving with a roof load
Do not exceed the permissible roof load.
For safety reasons, distribute the load
evenly and secure it tightly with straps so
that it cannot slip. Set the tyre inflation
pressure to the value given for full load. Do
not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h).
Check and retighten straps at frequent
intervals.
