Changing gears
As soon as the clutch pedal is depressed, regu-
lation is suspended and resumes once the gear
change has been made.
Driving down slopes
Shift into a low gear before descending a long
hill. This makes use of engine braking and re-
lieves the brakes.
The vehicle cannot maintain the saved speed in
all driving situations. Always be ready to apply
the vehicle’s brakes.

ing distance and at a constant speed, using
the cruise control system may cause acci-
dents and serious injuries may occur.
