Operating hints●Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with M/T only) and do
not increase the engine speed more than necessary when
starting.
●Be sure that the driving speed does not exceed the
100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations
in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
●To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, depress the
brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
●To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower
gear before descending a slope.
●The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be under addi-
tional strain when towing a trailer.
●The heavier weight and higher rolling and air resistance
will increase fuel consumption.Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with A/TThe 2nd gear (in sports mode) is recommended on slopes or at
low speed. Use the 1st gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist
the brake system. However, be sure that the speed does not
exceed the maximum speed limit for the selected gear.BK-XP08E1ENUK.en-uk.book Page 62 Monday, August 13, 2007 2:20 PM
