WARNING
New tyres need to be run-in for
approximately 500 kilometres (300
miles). During this time, you may
experience different driving
characteristics. Brakes and clutch
WARNING
Avoid heavy use of the brakes and
clutch if possible for the first 150
kilometres (100 miles) in town and
for the first 1 500 kilometres (1 000 miles)
on motorways. Engine
CAUTION
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1 500 kilometres (1 000 miles). Vary
your speed frequently and change
up through the gears early. Do not labour
the engine. COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be
affected at temperatures below -30°C
(-22°F). DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Driving through water CAUTIONS
Drive through water in an emergency
only, and not as part of normal
driving.
Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
In an emergency, the vehicle can be
driven through water to a maximum depth
of 200 mm and at a maximum speed of
10 km/h (6 mph). Extra caution should be
exercised when driving through flowing
water.
When driving in water, maintain a low
speed and do not stop the vehicle. After
driving through water, and as soon as it
is safe to do so:
•
Depress the brake pedal lightly and
check that full brake function is
achieved.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the vehicle's lights are fully
operational.
• Check the power assistance
of the steering system.

Driving hints

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove
the wax from the windscreen.
CAUTIONS
Prior to using a car wash facility
check the suitability of it for your
vehicle.
Some car wash installations use
water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh
air filter.
We recommend that you wash your
vehicle with a sponge and lukewarm
water containing a car shampoo.
Cleaning the headlamps
CAUTIONS
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents
or chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window. Cleaning the chrome trim CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
Body paintwork preservation
CAUTIONS
Do not polish your vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the windscreen
or rear window. This could cause the
wipers to become noisy and they
may not clear the window properly. We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Do not use abrasives, or chemical
solvents to clean them.
Do not allow moisture to penetrate
the seat belt retractor mechanism.
Clean the seat belts with interior cleaner
or water applied with a soft sponge. Let
the seat belts dry naturally, away from
artificial heat.
