WARNING
- Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces - danger of asphyxiation .
- Never turn off the engine until the vehi-
cle has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering
only work when the engine is running. If
the engine is off, you have to use more
force when steering or braking. Because
you cannot steer and brake as you usual-
ly would, this could lead to crashes and
serious injuries.
-Avoid high engine rpm , full throttle and
heavy engine loads until the engine has
reached operating temperature
- other-
wise you risk engine damage.
- The engine cannot be started by pushing
or towing the vehicle.

Tips

the hydraulic valve adjusters. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.

switched on, the ignition will switch off
