Behaviour
–  Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal 
operating temperature, rather than 
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
–  Speed is expensive.
–  Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive  with a light right foot.
–  Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
  You should always use the highest  gear possible.

Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only 
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check 
their mounting. Do not place several 
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk of wedging the 
pedals
–  Avoid sudden acceleration.
–  Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release 
the accelerator pedal.
–  Do not try to maintain the same  speed up a hill, accelerate no more 
than you would on the level. Keep 
your foot in the same position on the 
accelerator pedal.
–  Double declutching and accelerating  before switching off are unnecessary 
in modern vehicles.
–  Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through 
floods if the water is 
above the lower edge of 
the wheel rims.
