Driving Information
Control of a 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.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to vehicle battery
condition, the power output of the
alternator must be increased. This
will be achieved by an idle boost
which may be audible.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats
in the area of the pedals.
