2. Carefully adjust the position of rear-view mirrors, to easily check the road behind
you.
3. Ensure nothing hinders the pedals stroke (mats, etc.)
4. Ensure that headlights are working properly.
5. To start the vehicle, with idle engine, engage the first gear and gently release the
clutch lever, accelerating at the same time.
6. Reduce speed on badly surfaced roads and drive with caution.
7. Do not brake fully on wet, unsurfaced or slippery roads.
8. Do not shift down when the engine is running at high revs to avoid dangerous over-
revving.
9. On a downhill, do not keep the gearbox to neutral position or the engine off, but
decrease speed closing the accelerator. To facilitate the decrease of speed, use the
brakes without pulling them for too long, to prevent dangerous overheating that would
decrease their efficiency. Shift down to increase the engine brake effect.
10. For rapid pick-up, e.g. for overtaking, shift down a gear to employ all the required
power.
11. When driving up demanding slopes, shift down to employ all the required power.
12. Check that the load is evenly distributed on the loading body, and do not exceed
the provided loads (see chapter: "Technical data -performance") to prevent tilting while
turning on a corner.
ALWAYS DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF YOUR ABILITY. DRIV-
ING WHILE DRUNK OR UNDER THE EFFECT OF DRUGS OR CERTAIN MEDI-
CINES IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND INFRINGES THE ROAD REGULA-
TIONS.
