Maintenance
R
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissions, engi ne performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes and four wheel drive, it is essential that
any dynamometer testing is carried out only by
a qualified person, familiar with the
dynamometer testing an d safety procedures

Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).

WARNINGS
Ensure that the remote control remains
docked whilst the vehicle is being
towed. Removing the remote control will
engage the steering lo ck, which will prevent
the vehicle from steering correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be no
power assistance for the steering or brakes.
This will result in grea ter effort being required
to steer or slow the vehicle, and greatly
increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground. Towing in a reverse direction with
two wheels on the ground will result in serious
damage to the transmission.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 80 km (50 miles), at a
maximum speed of 80 k m/h (50 mph). Towing
