Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
P ay   close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to   react   at  
a

ny   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  
o

ther
 v
ehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   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

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

n or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.
