DRIVING
TIPS
Driving
safely
Attention
The
operational
condition of your
vehicle
is
essential
to
safe
driving.
Therefore before moving off, always check
the following points:
• Lights and
turn
signals
•
Mirror
settings
• Cleanliness of
headlights,
lenses and
windows
Also
check at regular intervals, preferably
when filling the tank, all the checks listed on
page160
Furthermore compliance
with
the specified Inspection intervals - in particular the brake
fluid changing - is of great importance for operational safety - pages 93 and 98.
Attention
Safety
on the
road
depends to a
large
extent
on the personal
atti
tude
and
style
of driving.
To
be on the safe side you should:
•
Always
put
seat
belt
on
before
moving
off -
even
in
town
traffic
-
and
• Ensure
that
all your passengers - including
those
on the
rear
seat
- are
wearing
their
belts
correctly
- page
15
Passengers
without seat belts can en
danger
not only themselves, but also the
driver.
•
Adjust
head
rests
to body size.
The
upper edge of headrest must be approximately at eye
level.
• Ensure
that
no
articles
interfere
with
operation
of pedals - page 29
•
Stow
all
luggage
correctly:
- in
boot
- page 28
- on the shelves - page 27
- on the
roof
- page 75 • Do not
drive
when
you
feel
tired.
Stop
for a break at the latest after driving for
two hours.
•
Never
drive
when
your
reactions
are
impaired
in any way. Not only alcohol but also drugs and many
medicines
can be very detrimental to your
reactions.
•
Adapt
vehicle
speed to
traffic
and
road
conditions.
Remember
that
particularly on smooth slip
pery roads the handling and braking is li
mited by the adhesion of the tyres. On wet
roads
the
front
wheels can aquaplane at
high
speeds.
The vehicle can then no longer
be
steered and braked properly.
•
Strictly
adhere
to the
traffic
regu
lations
-
particularly
the speed li
mits
-.
Further instructions on safety are given in
the various chapters in this manual.
