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!
