ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
While it may be difficult to deter the 
‘professional’ car thief, the majority of thefts are 
carried out by unskilled opportunists. 
Therefore, take vehicle security very seriously 
and ALWAYS adopt this simple ‘four point’ drill 
whenever you leave your vehicle - even for just 
a few minutes:
1.Fully close all the windows (and the 
sunroof).
2.Remove your valuable belongings (or hide 
them out of sight).
3.Remove the starter key.
4.Superlock the vehicle using the...

BREAKING-IN
Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on 
the reliability and smooth running of your 
vehicle throughout its life.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and 
tires need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the 
demands of everyday motoring. During the first 
600 miles (1000 km), it is essential to drive with 
consideration for the breaking-in process and 
heed the following advice:
•LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph 
(110 km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive

Superlocking
Provided all the doors are fully closed, the 
Superlocking feature is activated automatically 
whenever the vehicle is locked by pressing the

the interior door handles, thereby preventing an 
intruder from gaining entry by smashing a 
window and reaching inside the vehicle to 
operate the door handles.

passengers are to remain inside the...
