Rollover Warning

WARNING!

Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible

injury or damage.

CAUTION!

Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other combustible materials. The heat

from your vehicle exhaust system could cause a fire.
