● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.

because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

mended:
● For the first 300 km (200 miles):

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

of the correct fuel. ( P. 378)
