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.
