• Ensure all windows and mirrors are clear and positioned correctly
before driving.
• Ensure that all doors, bonnets and hoods (when fitted) are
fastened/shut correctly.
• Check all lights and signalling devices are operating correctly before use.
Always Wear a Seat Belt
Wearing a seat belt will dramatically reduce the risk of injury or death in the
event of an accident. Always ensure that the driver and any passengers
travelling in the vehicle always wear a seat belt.
Morgan Motor Company recommend that young children are not
carried in a Morgan Plus Four.
Harmful Substances
Some components used in the manufacture of cars contain or emit
chemicals known to increase the risk of cancer and birth defects as
well as increasing the risk of reproductive harm.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (CO). This gas cannot be seen, has
no odour and exposure to the gas can cause unconsciousness or death. If
it is suspected that exhaust gases are entering the cockpit of the car do not
drive the car until a Morgan engineer has rectified the fault. Never park in a
confined space with the engine running without adequate ventilation.
Engine System
If the engine malfunctions in any way, ECU warnings show on the LCD
screen. Morgan recommends that the fault is diagnosed and repaired by
a Morgan engineer before using the vehicle. Failure to react appropriately
to any engine management faults may result in permanent damage to the
engine. Continuing to drive the car with an engine misfire could cause the
catalytic converter to overheat, with possible heat damage to other car
components, and an engine bay fire.
DO NOT park or drive the car in areas where combustible material, such
as dry grass or leaves, could come into contact with the hot exhaust
system as this may ignite fires.
DO NOT tamper with the electrical system whilst the battery is connected.
DO NOT enter the engine bay when the engine is running.
DO NOT use the car if a fuel leak is suspected. Ensure that a Morgan
engineer or service agent repairs the fault before starting or using the
vehicle. Leaking fuel may cause fires or explosions.
DO NOT touch or approach any part of a hot exhaust system. Failure to
comply with this may result in injury.
It is recommended that any work to be performed on a Morgan Plus Four should
be undertaken by a qualified engineer or Morgan service agent.
Electrical Equipment
Morgan does not recommend installing any non-approved electronic
systems that emit radio frequencies. Such items include electronic
garage door activation and similar devices.
