Starting and driving
Economical driving
Economical driving results from driving gently
with anticipation and adapting your driving
style and speed to the prevailing conditions.
Run the engine to operating temperature
as soon as possible.
Do not let the engine idle, but drive at
light load as soon as possible.
A cold engine consumes more fuel than
a warm one.
Avoid unnecessary quick acceleration
and heavy braking.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in
the car.
Do not use winter tyres on dry roads.
Remove the roof rack when it is not in
use.
Avoid driving with open windows.
Slippery surfaces
Driving on slippery surfaces can be
experienced differently. Practice driving in
mock slippery conditions in order to
determine how the car will react.
Engine and cooling system
Under certain conditions, e.g. when driving in
hilly terrain or with a heavy load, there is a risk
of the engine and cooling system
overheating.
General
Avoid overheating the cooling system
Drive at low speeds if driving with a
trailer up a long, steep incline.
Do not turn the engine off immediately
you stop if the car has been driven hard.
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extreme high
temperatures.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not drive the car above 4500 rpm
when towing a trailer or caravan in hilly
areas. The oil temperature may rise too
high.
Open boot lid
Avoid driving with an open boot lid. If you
must drive a short distance with the boot lid
open, do as follows:
Close all windows.
Distribute the air between the
windscreen and floor and run the fan at
high speed.
WARNING!
Do not drive with an open boot lid.
Poisonous exhaust gases could be
drawn into the car via the cargo
compartment.
Do not overload the battery
The electrical functions of the car load the
battery to varying degrees. Avoid leaving the
ignition key in position II when the engine is
switched off. Use position I instead. Less
power will then be consumed. Remove the
key if no functions are required. Less power
will then be consumed.
NOTE! The 12 volt socket in the cargo
compartment provides voltage even when
the ignition key has been removed.
Examples of functions that draw a lot of
current are:
blower fan
windscreen wipers
audio equipment (high volume)
parking lamps
Be aware of different accessories that load
the electrical system. Do not use functions
that draw a lot of current when the engine is
switched off.
If the battery charge is low, a message is
shown in the display. Charge the battery by
starting the engine.
