INSTRUMENTS AND WARNING LIGHTS
On-Road Driving
CAUTION: The overall height of your vehicle
exceeds that of ordinary passenger cars (for
convenience the height is shown on the
underside of the sun visor). Always be aware of
the height of your vehicle and check the
available headroom before driving through low
entrances. This is particularly important if the
vehicle is fitted with a roof rack or if a sunroof
is open.
Before driving it is important to fully
understand the function of the instruments and
warning lights (see ‘INSTRUMENT PANEL’,
page 65).
NOTE: Red warning lights are of particular
importance, illumination indicating that a fault
exists. If a red light illuminates, always stop the
vehicle and seek qualified assistance before
continuing.
POWER ASSISTED STEERING
The hydraulic power-assisted steering is
progressively geared; when steering straight
ahead gearing is relatively low, but becomes
progressively higher as the steering wheel is
turned.
NOTE: Power assistance is dependent on the
engine running. If the engine is not running, a
much greater effort will be required to steer the
vehicle.
WARMING UP
In the interests of fuel economy, it is advisable
to drive the vehicle straight away, remembering
that harsh acceleration or laboring the engine
before the normal operating temperature has
been reached can damage the engine.
When the engine is cold, engine idle speeds will
be faster than normal. Under these
circumstances, use the foot brake to control the
vehicle until the engine is warm and running at
normal speed, and be aware of the need to take
additional care when manoeuvring the vehicle.
