Driving Conditions
Before the Trip
Check the following at regular intervals and always before long trips:
- Tire pressure and condition;
- levels of fluids and lubricants;
Conditions of the windshield wiper blades;
Clean the glass on the external lights and all other glass surfaces;
Proper operation of the warning lights and of the external lights.
CAUTION!
It is however advisable to perform these checks at least every 600 mi (1000 km) and always following the maintenance schedule reported in section “Maintenance and Care”.
Before you drive:
- Adjust seat position, steering wheel and rear-view mirrors in order to have the best driving position;
Ensure that nothing (mat covers, etc.) is obstructing the pedals movement;
Carefully arrange and secure any objects in the trunk, to prevent them from moving forward in case of sudden stops;
Avoid heavy meals before a trip. A light snack helps keep your reflexes sharp. In particular, avoid drinking alcohol.
WARNING!
Passengers must only travel seated in the vehicle seats, with the seat belts fastened. Always check that the driver and all passengers have the seat belts correctly fastened.
Safe Driving
Although the vehicle is equipped with active and passive safety devices, the driver’s conduct is always a decisive factor for road safety.
Some simple rules for traveling safely in different conditions are listed below. Some of them will probably already sound familiar but, in any case, it would be useful to read them carefully.
Driving at Night
The main guidelines to follow when driving at night are set out below.
- Drive carefully. Night conditions demand more focus and attention.
Reduce your speed, especially on roads with no streetlights.
Stop at early signs of drowsiness. Continuing to drive would be a risk for yourself and for others. Have a rest before continuing your trip.
Keep the vehicle at a greater distance from vehicles in front of you than you would during the day: it is difficult to assess the speed of other vehicles when you only see the lights. - Use the high beams only outside of densely-populated areas and when you are sure that they will not disturb other drivers.
When another vehicle is approaching, switch from high beams (if on) to low beams.
Keep lights and headlights clean.
Outside of densely-populated areas, beware of animals crossing the road.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads are dangerous. On a wet road all maneuvers are more difficult since wheel grip on the road is significantly reduced. This means that the braking distances increase considerably and the road grip decreases.
Some recommendations for driving in the rain are listed below.
- Reduce your speed and keep a greater safety distance from the vehicles in front of you. High speed may result in a loss of vehicle control.
When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as aquaplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability.
To reduce this possibility: slow down if the road has standing water or puddles.
- Heavy rain substantially reduces visibility. In these circumstances, even during the day, turn on the low beams, to be more visible to other drivers.
Set the air conditioning and heating system controls on the demisting function, in order to avoid any visibility problem.
Periodically check the conditions of the windshield wiper blades.
In low grip conditions use “Comfort” driving mode (see chapters “Drive Mode” and “Off-road Drive” in this section).
Avoid driving with ESC OFF as this could possibly cause a loss of control of the vehicle.
Driving in Fog
If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if possible.
When driving in mist, blanket fog or when there is the possibility of banks of fog, please consider some advice listed below. If the fog is dense, avoid traveling if possible. When driving in mist, blanket fog or when there is the possibility of banks of fog, please consider some advice listed below.
- Keep a moderate speed.
Even in daytime, turn on the low beams. Do not use the high beams.
Remember that fog creates dampness on the asphalt and thus any type of maneuver is more difficult and braking distances are extended. - Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
Avoid sudden changes in speed as much as possible.
Whenever possible, avoid overtaking.
If you are forced to stop the vehicle
(breakdowns, impossibility of proceeding due to poor visibility, etc.), first of all, try to stop off of the travel lane. Then turn on the hazard warning lights and, if possible, the low beams.
Sound the horn rhythmically if you hear another vehicle approaching.
WARNING!
Be aware that rear fog lights can bother the drivers following your vehicle: when visibility is back to normal, turn off these lights.
Driving in the Mountains
Mountain roads usually have many narrow turns and curves, tunnels and steep uphill or downhill slopes: please consider some advices listed below.
- Drive at a moderate speed, avoid “cutting” corners.
When driving inside a tunnel in daylight turn on the low beams in advance; avoid high beams and be aware of the rapid brightness change. Avoid abrupt maneuvers that could be dangerous for the following vehicle. - Never coast downhill with the engine off or in neutral.
Remember that passing other vehicles when driving uphill is slower and thus requires more free distance on the road. If you are being overtaken on a hill, slow down and allow the other vehicle to pass.
Driving on Snow or Ice
Please consider some general advice for driving in these conditions, listed below.
- Maintain a very moderate speed.
- Fit snow chains or specific tires if the road is covered with snow, : chapter “Tires Information” in section “Safety”.
We recommend you to activate the “Comfort” mode (see chapters “Drive Mode” and “Off-Road Drive” in this section). - During the winter season, even apparently dry roads can have icy sections. Be careful when crossing bridges, viaducts and roads that have little exposure to the sun and are bordered by trees and rocks. They may be icy.
Keep an ample safe distance from the vehicles in front of you.
When driving on dirty roads (mud, snow or ice), clean you vehicle as described in the paragraph “Car Wash” (see chapter “Bodywork Maintenance and Care” in section “Maintenance and Care”).
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
Driving through Flooded Sections
Driving through water sections will requires extra caution to ensure passenger safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. For more details, see “Off-Road Drive” in this section.
