the
clutch
pedal fully.
To
prevent
the

caught
under
the pedal:
-
ensure
that
the mat is positioned
and
secured correctly on the floor,
-
never
fit
one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on

even
if
slight,
may wear the internal
components
of
the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear lever fully to the right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
has come to a complete stop.

release
the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism
by pulling the lever.
Adjust
the steering wheel for height

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
observe the driving regulations 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!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is
very hot, even several minutes after
switching
off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable
substances and materials
are
present: grass, leaves, etc...)
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.
