Even if you do not read the entire manual, this section should be studied before operating the vehicle.
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.

Owners Handbook
When travelling in wet or slippery conditions, use care when accelerating and braking. After driving through deep water (over 5 cm’s deep) gently apply the brakes whilst moving to dry them.
When travelling downhill, take extra care not to use the brakes too much. Excessive use can cause the fluid to boil and become ineffective. If possible use the engine brake to keep the speed at a steady pace.
Page 7?
Only use the right foot to operate automatic vehicle, don’t operate left and right foot together for this could cause excessive wear on the brake pads.
The vehicle will only start, when the gear lever is in park.
The vehicle will only go into reverse, when the foot brake is operated.

Owners Handbook
When driving an automatic, only use the right foot to operate the accelerator and brake.
When leaving the vehicle, leave the gear lever in park.
Do not start the vehicle, if the exhaust is not clear.
Always leave the ignition in “lock”, when sleeping?
Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission are easier to drive for there is no need for gear changes or clutch operation. But you must learn the techniques related to its use.
1.When the shift lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”, the vehicle may creep forward even when the accelerator is not pressed.
2.When stationary, even on level ground, apply the foot brake to prevent the vehicle moving.
3.If the air conditioner is operating the engine will be idling faster than normal and may cause the vehicle movement to be greater.

Important
Always adjust the seat to suit you before driving, making sure:
•You can comfortably reach the steering wheel.
•You can operate the foot controls with ease.
•The seat belt is comfortable with no twists.
•You are seated properly.
Do not try to adjust the driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. The risk of loosing control while the seat is not fixed could be very dangerous.

This is achieved by pulling the indicated lever up, and sliding the seat.
