4-42 On the road
Use of headlamps in daylight
When visibility is poor the headlamps
with dipped beam setting should be
switched on so that the vehicle may be
seen more easily by other road users. The
instrument illumination dimmer control
adjusts the brightness of the panel
lighting.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is
normal. The rate of consumption will
depend on the following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• The amount of oxidation and dilution
of the oil.
•Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is
being operated.
•Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.
Winter driving
Freeing a frozen door lock
Caution: Do not apply a proprietary
lock de-icer through the keyhole.
Should the lock become frozen, warm the
end of the key before use.
Windscreen wiper blades
Before driving away, clear any ice from
the windscreen and check that the wiper
blades are free. Switching on the heated
screen will accelerate this process.
Frost precautions
The correct concentration of coolant
must be maintained at all times when
‘replenishing’ or ‘refilling’ the cooling
system.
