DRIVER’S SEAT
Vehicle specifications are subject to change. When the engine is turned off, ensure that the starter switch is in position II when operating electrical items such
as door mirrors and windows, etc. This vehicle does not include any manufacturer handbooks or manuals.
No responsibility is accepted for inaccuracies or misunderstanding caused by the wording of this guide. If in any doubt ask a member of staff for assistance.
Use hazard lights. Attempt to park
in a safe position.
Use an emergency phone rather
than a mobile as emergency
services will then know the location
of the vehicle.
Never use a child seat in a front
passenger seat which is fitted with
an active airbag (SRS). Follow all
fitting instructions carefully.
Check seat positioning and security
before use.
