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.

Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to
a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered but may require a
higher or lower steering effort.
Control indicator
mVariable Effort
Steering Light 071.
Caution
Vehicle equipped with electric
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned
until it reaches the end of its
travel and is held against that
position for an extended period of
time, power steering assist may
be reduced.
If the steering assistance is used
for an extended period of time,
power assistance may be
reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
Starting and
Operating
New Vehicle Run-In
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel
and engine oil consumption may be
higher.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow
for charging the vehicle battery.
