E12-A-120227-887D0EDB-C957-4BEF-A5CD-CC47FFD725E0
Driving your vehicle to fit the circumstances is essential
for your safety and comfort. As a driver, you should be
the one who knows best how to drive in the given
circumstances.
ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
E12-A-120227-D8912B0E-9CEB-44B6-B373-46C97DF8D3F4
Due to the higher engine speeds, when the engine is
cold, extra caution must be exercised when selecting a
gear during the engine warm-up period after starting
the engine.
LOADING LUGGAGE
E12-A-120227-22420696-7856-455C-B5B6-9AF607ACA45E
Loads and their distribution and the attachment of
equipment (coupling devices, roof baggage carriers,
etc.) will considerably change the driving character-
istics of the vehicle. Your driving style and speed must
be adjusted according to the circumstances.
DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS
E12-A-120227-3EFD08C4-0BAA-429E-A767-3C3F141A9D4A
. Avoid accelerating or stopping suddenly.
. Avoid sharp turning or lane changing suddenly.
. Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.
When water covers the road surface with water
puddles, small water streams, etc., reduce speed to
prevent hydroplaning which can cause skidding and
loss of control. Worn tires will increase this risk.
