A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all
times and remain vigilant whatever the
traffic
conditions.
Pay
close attention to the traffic and
keep
your hands on the wheel so that
you
are ready to react at any time to
any
eventuality.
On
a long journey, a break every two
hours
is strongly recommended.
In
difficult weather, drive smoothly,
anticipate
the need to brake and
increase
the distance from other
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on flooded roads, as this could cause
serious
damage to the engine or
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems
of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
check
that the depth of water does
not
exceed 15 cm, taking account
of
waves that might be generated
by other users,
-
deactivate
the Stop & Start system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin
g. In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
engine.
On
leaving the flooded road, as soon
as
circumstances allow, make several
light
brake applications to dry the brake
discs
and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
workshop.Never
drive with the parking brake
applied
- Risk of overheating and
damage
to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary
in areas where inflammable
substances
and materials (dry grass,
dead
leaves...) might come into contact
with
the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
n
ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
on the type of gearbox.
Important!
