WARNING
⬛When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting th e engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an unforeseen accident re sulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution while driving
If the vehicle starts sliding when the engine stops, do not open, lock or unlock

braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
