Make that there is nothing loose that can
interfere with the controls of the vehicle,
such as cans or bottles.
Make sure that any mats or covers do not
interfere with the controls of the vehicle.
Page 6 ?2000cc ? “check translation”.
Do not try to turn the ignition switch off,
while driving. This may cause serious
damage to the engine. If you turn the key
to “ACC” or “LOCK” position while
driving you will lose the use of the power
brakes and power steering, also the
steering lock will engage. Also no
warning lights will be illuminated.
Do not put the seats in the reclined
position, while the vehicle is moving.
When reversing, make sure that the rear

When travelling in wet or slippery
conditions, use care when accelerating
and braking. After driving through deep
water (over 5 cm’s deep) gently apply the
brakes whilst moving to dry them.
When travelling downhill, take extra care
not to use the brakes too much. Excessive
use can cause the fluid to boil and
become ineffective. If possible use the
engine brake to keep the speed at a steady
pace.
Page 7?
Only use the right foot to operate
automatic vehicle, don’t operate left and
right foot together for this could cause
excessive wear on the brake pads.
The vehicle will only start, when the gear
lever is in park.
The vehicle will only go into reverse,
when the foot brake is operated.

When driving an automatic, only use the
right foot to operate the accelerator and
brake.
When leaving the vehicle, leave the gear
lever in park.
Do not start the vehicle, if the exhaust is
not clear.
Always leave the ignition in “lock”, when
sleeping?
Tips when driving an automatic vehicle.
Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission are easier to drive for there is no need
for gear changes or clutch operation. But you must learn the techniques related to its
use.
1. When the shift lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”, the vehicle may
creep forward even when the accelerator is not pressed.
2. When stationary, even on level ground, apply the foot brake to prevent the
vehicle moving.
3. If the air conditioner is operating the engine will be idling faster than normal and
may cause the vehicle movement to be greater.
