Notes on driving
WARNING Risk of accident due to ob-
jects in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may im-
pede pedal travel or block a pressed
pedal.
This jeopardises the operating and road
safety of the vehicle.
► Stow all objects in the vehicle se-
curely so that they cannot get into
the driver's footwell.
► Always fix the floor mats securely in
order to make sure that there is al-
ways sufficient room for the pedals.
► Never use loose floor mats, nor place
a floor mat on another one.
WARNING Risk of accident due to un-
suitable footwear
Operating the pedals may be impaired
by wearing unsuitable footwear, for
example:
● Platform shoes
● High-heeled shoes
● Slippers
► Always wear suitable footwear when
driving so that you can operate the
pedals safely.
WARNING Risk of accident or injury
due to driving under the influence of
alcohol and drugs
Driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs is very dangerous. Even small
amount of alcohol or drugs may affect
your reaction, perception, and
judgment.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs may dramatically increase the
probability of a serious or even fatal
accident.
► Never drive or allow others to drive
under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
WARNING Risk of accident due to the
brake system overheating
If you leave your foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake system may
overheat.
This increases the braking distance and
the brake system may even fail.
► Never use the brake pedal as a
footrest.
► Never press the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving.
WARNING Vehicle damage due to fail
to observe the maximum allowable
height
If the height of the vehicle is greater
than the maximum allowable height
(road, garage, etc.), the roof and other
parts of the vehicle may be damaged.
► Observe the height instructions on
road signs or other signs.
► If the vehicle height is greater than
the maximum permitted height, do
not enter.
► When using additional roof equip-
ment, pay attention to the total
height of the vehicle.
Notes on driving under roof load, trailer or
fully-loaded conditions
When driving a vehicle with roof rack
loaded, with a trailer coupled or under
fully-loaded condition, the driving and
steering characteristics of the vehicle
change. The followings should be kept in
mind:
● Never exceed the maximum allowable
roof load capacity and the vehicle trac-
tion capacity. Technical data in this
manual shall be followed.
● Distribute the roof load evenly and
place heavier loads at the bottom.
● Drive carefully and avoid sudden starts,
sudden braking, sudden steering and
fast turning.
