Driving information
Control of a vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit,
power steering). Driving in this
manner is a danger to yourself and
others.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Starting and operating
New vehicle break-in
Use the following precautions for the
first few hundred kilometres(miles) to
improve the performance and
economy of your vehicle and add to
its long life:
 Avoid full-throttle starts.
 Do not race the engine.
 Avoid hard stops except in
emergencies. This will allow your
brakes to bed in properly.
 Avoid quick starts, sudden
accelerations, and prolonged
highspeed driving in order to
avoid damage to the engine and
to conserve fuel.
Avoid full-throttle acceleration in
low gear.
 Do not tow any other vehicle.
