GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS
The electronic ignition system
works with high voltage. Never
touch these components with the
engine running or the ignition

The ignition must be switched
off before working in the engine
compartment. Under some operating
conditions, the cooling system fan
may continue to run for several
minutes after the engine has been
switched off. This is quite normal.
Take care not to get any fingers or
clothing such as ties or scarves
caught in the fan.
• Check and top up fluid levels
regularly.
• Check tyre pressure.
• Check brakes and lamps are
operating correctly.
