WARNING
Do not drive with objects
on the floor in front of the
driver’s seat: they could caught under
the pedals making braking or
accelerating impossible.
WARNING
Pay attention to the mats:
even a small problem to the
braking system may require increased
brake pedal stroke with respect
to normal.
WARNING
Water, ice or salt sprinkled
on the road can deposit on
the brake discs and reduce efficiency
of the first braking.
– Do not drive too many hours at a
time but stop at intervals to stretch
your legs and recoup your energy;
– make sure the air in the passenger’s
compartment is being changed
continuously;
– never coast downhill (i.e. with the
engine off): if you do, you lose the aid
of engine braking, power brakes and
power steering so that braking requires
greater effort on the pedal and
steering requires greater effort on the
steering wheel.
DRIVING AT NIGHT
These are the main rules to follow
when you are driving at night:
– drive especially carefully: it is harder
to drive at night;
– slow down especially if the road is
not lit;
– at the first signs of sleepiness, stop:
continuing would be a risk for yourself
and everybody else. Only start driving
again when you have had enough rest;
– keep a greater safety distance from
the vehicles in front of you than during
daylight hours: it is hard to judge
how fast other vehicles are going when
all you can see are their lights;
– make sure the headlights beams are
properly positioned: if they are too
low, they reduce visibility and strain
your eyes. If they are too high they can
dazzle other drivers. Adjust headlight
beam according to transported load;
– only use main beam headlights
when you are driving outside town
and when you are sure they do not annoy
other drivers. dip your headlights
