wait for the engine to cool down in order

to check the coolant level and top it up if

necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised, follow

this advice in order to avoid any risk of

scalding:

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

To change gear easily, always press

the clutch pedal fully.

When the vehicle is stationary, unlock

the steering wheel by lowering the lever.

In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar

under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.

To prevent the mat from becoming caught

under the pedal:

Adjust the height and depth of the steering

wheel, then lock by pushing the lever fully

upwards.

Never engage reverse gear before

the vehicle is completely stationary.

-

ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

The lever should be moved slowly to reduce

the noise on engaging reverse gear.

-

never fit one mat on top of another.

When driving, avoid leaving your hand on

the gear knob as the force exerted, even if

slight, may wear the internal components of

the gearbox over time.

Starting and stopping

Key

Take care to prevent the key from coming

into contact with grease, dust, rain or a

damp environment.

A heavy object attached to the key (key

ring, ...) weighing the key down in the ignition

switch may cause a malfunction.

Good practice when stopping

Minimise engine and gearbox wear

When switching off the ignition, let the

engine run for a few seconds to allow the

turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to

idle.

STARTING AND STOPPING
