A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain   vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to  
r

eact   at   any   time   to   any   eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles. Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
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

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into  
c

e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-
 
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
 
d
