Starting and Driving
WARNING!
•
Always check that the vehicle is
locked before leaving it.
•
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
•
Do not park the vehicle on paper,
grass, dry leaves or other flammable
materials. They could catch fire if they
come into contact with hot parts of the
exhaust system.
•
Do not leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended.
CAUTION!
•
When you need to park the vehicle on
a steep slope, both with the engine on
and off, it is recommended not only to
engage the parking brake, but shifting
the transmission into P (Park) mode
before leaving the vehicle.
•
Before opening or closing the hard top,
always check that there is sufficient
space in height. Please refer to chapter
"Dimensions" in section "Technical
Specifications".
When parking on hill roads, it is
important to turn the front wheels
toward the curb on a downhill grade and
away from the curb on an uphill grade.
In certain conditions, it is however
advisable to disengage the parking
brake manually and slightly apply the
service brake for starting off. This is
advisable when there are obstacles very
close to the vehicle in the direction in
which you intend to move.
