extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sensors
are limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
䳜 NEVER drive too fast in accor

dance with the road conditions or
while cornering.
䳜 Always drive cautiously to prevent

placing the POWER button to the ON
