No one should drive the vehicle without first being instructed in the proper operation and use of vehicle controls. An
experienced operator should accompany each first-time driver on a test drive before allowing the driver to operate
the vehicle alone.

understand all instructions prior to driving the vehicle.
STARTING THE VEHICLE
