SAFETY

 

2.3.3 Body and chassis

Always visually inspect the chassis and body to make sure that all chassis and body 
parts are present, correctly mounted and undamaged before using. 
Check that all electrical functions are working correctly. This includes:

•  Headlamps, both high and low beam

•  Position lights

•  Turning signal indicators 

•  Horn 

•  Hazard lights
• 
•  Reflectors front and back (Standard on Via and Monaco)

•  Wwindshield wiper/washer (Standard on Via and Monaco)

2.3.4 Brakes

Always make sure that brakes are functioning correctly. Do not drive, if brakes are not 
functioning correctly.
When engaging the brake pedal, the pedal should show resistance after being de-
pressed approximately 1/3 of its way. If it is possible to push the brake to the floor 
without any resistance, it is an indication of a malfunction in the braking system. 
Please consult a qualified repair shop immediately. It is recommended that repairs are 
provided by an Authorized Garia Service Dealer. The pedal should feel firm at all times 
and always return to its original position when released.

Always ensure that the ignition switch is turned “OFF” before the pedal operation 
is tested. Vehicle can accelerate abruptly if vehicle is set to the “F” or “R” position 
and potentially cause severe injury to persons or damage to property. Do not drive if 
brakes are not working correctly.
