Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 174.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Emergencies
9 Warning
Damage to the high voltage
battery or high voltage system can
create a risk of electric shock,
overheating, or fire.
If the vehicle has been damaged
or affected by a moderate to
severe crash, it must be inspected
as soon as possible by qualified
personnel. Until the technical
inspection has been carried out,
the vehicle must be stored outside
at a minimum distance of
5 metres from any structure or
other flammable objects.
If the vehicle has been damaged
or affected by flood or fire, it must
not be moved at all and has to be
inspected by qualified personnel
as soon as possible.
