A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain   vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.

  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s

trongly
 re

In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles. Never

a

pplied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
