I M P NEVER open or close the hood when the O car is moving, nor drive with the hood R T partially open, or with the locking A handles unlocked. N ALWAYSBt the tonneau cover before T

driving with the hood open - the cover is padded to protect rear passengers against accidental injury from the hood folding mechanism. Before opening or closing the hood make sure that all obstructions are removed and that passengers are warned to keep clear of any part of the hood while it is moving. When driving with the hood open, ALWAYS secure loose objects inside the car to prevent them from being blown out. DO NOT allow passengers to sit on the folded hood (even when the car is stationary). To prevent damage to the rear screen, DO NOT open or close the hood when the temperature is below CP C (in subzero conditions the rear screen becomes brittle and susceptible to cracking when folded). DO NOT keep the hood open for longer than one week at a time. DO NOT wash the car in an automatic car wash or with high pressure water jets.

NOTE: If the interior of the car is

particularly hot when you start the engine, it will take time for the air conditioner to become fully effective. It is best to first ventilate the car for a short while by opening the windows and sunroof, and operating the blower at a fast speed before switching on the air conditioning. Remember to close the windows and sunroof before you operate the air conditioner.

Starting & Driving

Before starting the engine, ENSURE you are familiar with the procedures below. Catalytic converters are easily damaged through improper use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire occurs - before starting the engine, you should be aware of the precautions detailed in the 'Catalytic converter'section. Never start, or leave the engine running, in an unventilated building - exhaust gases are poisonous and contain carbon monoxide, which can cause unconsciousness and may even be fatal.
