General Driving
Stopping in Traffic
During short stops at traffic lights etc., the
drive selector need not be returned to
neutral, but the hand brake must be
applied to prevent the vehicle from
creeping forwards.
During longer stops, neutral (N) should be
selected and the handbrake applied.
Stopping the Engine
The engine can be stopped at any time
regardless of the drive selector position.
Parking
Caution
It is essential to apply the parking
brake when leaving the vehicle. In
addition, it is good practise on slopes
to chock the wheels, thus ensuring
that the vehicle cannot roll away.
Do not leave the driver’s seat when the
vehicle is stationary on a slippery and/or
snowy incline. Remain present in order to
apply the foot brake if it appears that, as
a result of the slippery surface, the grip of
the wheels to which the parking brake is
applied in order to keep the vehicle stationary
less than the force of gravity
