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!
