WARNING
Do not leave items in the engine
compartment:
After you have finished checking or
doing servicing in the engine
compartment, do not forget and leave
items such as tools or rags in the
engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine
compartment could cause engine
damage or a fire leading to an
unexpected accident.
1. Check under the bonnet area to make
certain all filler caps are in place and
all loose items (e.g. tools, oil
containers, etc.) have been removed.

holding up the bonnet. Verify that the
support rod is secured in the clip before
closing the bonnet.

securely.

WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride outside the
passenger compartment:
Riding in the truck bed, on the
bumper, or on the tailgate, whether it
is open or closed, is dangerous.
During sudden braking or a collision,
a person riding in the truck bed could
be thrown around or out of the vehicle
causing serious injury or death.
CAUTION
When loading luggage onto the boot
bed, do not load it clustered to the front/
back or left/right side of the boot bed.
A boot bed loaded in such a manner
could compromise the vehicle's stability
and durability, resulting in an accident.
