Frequently asked questions
- A red dashboard light indicating excessive engine temperature requires you to…
- Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a safe place If the red temperature warning lights up, we must stop as soon as possible in a safe place to avoid serious engine damage.
- Tyre pressure should be checked…
- At least once a month, when cold It is recommended to check tyre pressure at least once a month and always with tyres cold.
- If a tyre bursts at high speed, the correct reaction is…
- Grip the wheel and reduce speed progressively In a blow-out, grip the steering wheel firmly, gently ease off the throttle and slow down progressively without braking hard.
- A red oil warning light on the dashboard means…
- Missing or low oil pressure - stop as soon as possible The red oil warning indicates low pressure or critical level: stop as soon as possible to avoid serious engine damage.
- The ABS system is used to…
- Prevent wheel lock-up in hard braking ABS (anti-lock braking) prevents the wheels from locking during emergency braking, keeping the vehicle steerable.
