4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result
in irreversible pollution of the catalyst element.Such pollution will prevent correct operation ofthe catalyst and give rise to increased operat-ing temperatures leading to the catalyst ele-ment melting and restricting the exhaust flowalong with an increase in exhaust emissionlevels.
CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to dam-
age arising from the use of incorrect fuels.
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Number
(RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle.
To prevent accidental charging of the fuel tank
with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neckalong with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensurethat only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enterthe filler neck. However, care must be exer-

B010A01X-EAT FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS THIS VEHICLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED
WITH UNLEADED FUEL.
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT FROM
THE USE OF LEADED FUEL. B020A01X-EAT RUNNING INThe longevity and performance of the vehicle
are greatly affected by the care exercised dur- ing the first 1000 miles of motoring. Because ofmodern manufacturing techniques, rigid guide-lines regarding maximum road speeds havebecome unnecessary. However, certain pre-cautions should be observed in order to obtainthe best possible performance and useful lifefrom the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load (i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum engine speed should be restricted to 3000 rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation. The internal components of the engine willbecome more quickly run in if the operationspeed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-ings when the engine speed is below 1500rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100 miles of urban motoring or 1000 miles ofmotorway driving to allow the friction facingsof the brake pads and shoes to bed againstthe discs and drums properly.
B010D01S-EAT "Alternative fuels"Fuels which contain methanol or ethanol must
not be used.
B010F01A-EATOperation in Foreign CountriesDrivers of vehicles which are to be operated in
foreign countries must satisfy themselves that:
o The vehicle meets all local regulations with respect to insurance, specifications etc.,
o The correct types and grades of fuel are available for satisfactory operation of the vehicle.

ZB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONSAll vehicle occupants should wear seat belts at
all times. The possibility of injury or the severity of injury in an accident be decreased if this elementary safety precaution is observed. Inaddition, we would like to make the followingrecommendations. ZB090C1-E ChildrenIt is recommended that children occupy the rear seat and wear their seat belts. If the child is inthe front seat, it should be securely restrainedby the seat belt. Under no circumstances shouldthe child be allowed to stand or kneel on theseat. ZB090D1-E Pregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for pregnant women. The seat belt should be wornas low and snugly as possible across the hips,not across the abdomen. A qualified MedicalPractioner should be consulted for further infor-mation. ZB090E1-A Injured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured person is being transported. When this is nec-essary, you should consult a physician for rec-ommendations. ZB090F1-A One Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should never attempt to use a single seat belt. This could
increase the severity of injuries in case of anaccident.
ZB090G1-B Do Not Lie DownFor maximum effectiveness, all passengers
should be sitting up and the front seats should be in an upright position. A seat belt cannotoperate properly if the person is lying down inthe rear seat or if the front seat is at or near thefully reclined position.
B160A01S-GAT CARE OF SEAT BELTSSeat belt systems should never be disassem-
bled or modified. In addition, care should be taken to assure that seat belts and belt hard-
ware are not damaged by seat hinges, doors orother abuse.
ZB090I1-A Periodic InspectionIt is recommended that all seat belts be inspect-
ed periodically for wear or damage of any kind. Parts of the system that are damaged shouldbe replaced as soon as possible.

When fastening the rear seat shoul-der belts or the centre lap belt, make surethey are inserted into the correct buckle toobtain maximum protection from the seatbelt system and assure proper operation. B230A02P-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Not all models) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained tominimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-den stop or sudden maneuver. According toaccident statistics, children are safer when prop-erly restrained in the rear seats than in the frontseat. Larger children should use one of the seatbelts provided. You are required by law to use safety restraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicleyou must put them in a child restraint system(safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash iftheir restraints are not properly secured. Forsmall children and babies, a child seat or infantseat must be used. Before buying a particularchild restraint system, make sure it fits your carseat and seat belts, and fits your child. Followall the instructions provided by the manufac-turer when installing the child restraint system. WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat. Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it couldseverely injure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat. Thus,only use a child restraint in the rear seatof your vehicle. o Since a safety belt or child restraint sys-
tem can become very hot if it is left in aclosed vehicle, be sure to check the seatcover and buckles before placing a childthere.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, fasten it with a safety belt so that itwill not be thrown forward in the case ofa sudden stop or an accident.
o Children who are too large to be in a child restraint should sit in the rear seatand be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children toride in the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoulder belt portion of the outboard lap/shoulder beltis positioned midway over the shoulder,never across the neck or behind the back.Moving the child closer to the center ofthe vehicle may help provide a goodshoulder belt fit. The lap belt portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt or the center seatlap belt must always be positioned aslow as possible on the child's hips andas snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the use of an ap-proved booster seat in the rear seat inorder to raise the child's seating heightso that the seat belt will properly fit thechild.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
