Vehicle Introduction and Safety
Please read this section.
Even if you do not read the entire manual, this section should be studied before
operating the vehicle.
Warning notes
Check exterior of vehicle before driving.
Do not carry flammable liquids or gas
bottles in the vehicle, as this may cause a
fire or explosion in the event of an
accident.
Make sure seat belt is adjusted and
fastened for all passengers as well as the
driver, before driving. For more
information on the seat belts, see later in
this manual.
Do not run the engine in a confined area,
as this will cause a build up of carbon
monoxide, which is dangerous. Make
sure that there is adequate ventilation if
you do need to run the engine in a
confined space.

Make that there is nothing loose that can
interfere with the controls of the vehicle,
such as cans or bottles.
Make sure that any mats or covers do not
interfere with the controls of the vehicle.
Page 6 ?2000cc ? “check translation”.
Do not try to turn the ignition switch off,
while driving. This may cause serious
damage to the engine. If you turn the key
to “ACC” or “LOCK” position while
driving you will lose the use of the power
brakes and power steering, also the
steering lock will engage. Also no
warning lights will be illuminated.
Do not put the seats in the reclined
position, while the vehicle is moving.
When reversing, make sure that the rear
of the vehicle is clear of obstructions and
children.
