Starting & driving
IMPORTANTDRIVINGINFORMATION
Power assisted steering
The hydraulic power-assisted steering is
equipped with a positive ’centre feel’
characteristic, which gives enhanced vehicle
stabilityat high speeds and in cross winds.
Instruments &warning lights
Before driving, it is important to fully
understand the function of the instruments
and warning lights described in section 2.
Power assistance is progressivelyapplied the
more the steering wheel is turned. For
NOTE: Red warning lights are of particular
importance, illumination indicates that a fault
exists. If a red light illuminates always stop
the vehicle and seek qualified assistance
before continuing.
example: where manual steering effort would
normallybe greatest (at slow speeds on
maximum lock), power assistance is at its
greatest. Similarly, where only minimal
steering effort would normallybe required (at
high speed with the wheels straight ahead),
then power assistance is also minimal, thus
enabling the driver to benefit from apparently
consistent steering effort at all times.
Vehicle stability
Your vehicle has a higher ground clearance
and, therefore, a higher centre of gravitythan
ordinarycars. This will result in different
handling characteristics. Inexperienced drivers
should take additionalcare, particularlyin
off-road driving situations and when

engine running. If the engine is not running,
greater effort will be required to steer the
vehicle.
performing abrupt manoeuvres at
inappropriate speeds or on unstable surfaces.
Vehicle height
Auxiliary equipment
The overallheight of your vehicle exceeds that
of an ordinarycar (even when ACCESS ride
height is selected). Always be aware of the
height of your vehicle and checkthe available
headroom before driving through low
entrances. This is particularlyimportant if the
vehicle is fitted with a roof rackor if the
sunroof is open.
WARNING
Do NOTuse auxiliary equipment, such as a
roller generator, which is driven by one
wheel of the vehicle, as this could cause
failure of the gearbox differential. In some
cases the vehicle may attempt to drive itself
forward.
