tion about the operation of the vehicle, both
for the driver and the passengers. The other
sections of the on-board documentation also
contain further information that you should
be aware of for your own safety and for the
safety of your passengers.
● Ensure that the on-board documentation is
kept in the vehicle at all times. This is espe-
cially important when lending or selling the
vehicle to another person. WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
medication or narcotics may result in severe
accidents and even loss of life.

the vehicle behind could lead to serious acci-
dent.

crease the field of vision, however objects ap-
pear smaller and further away in the mirrors.
● The use of these mirrors to estimate the
distance to the next vehicle when changing

timate distances to vehicles behind you or in
other circumstances.
● Make sure that the rear visibility is ade-
quate. 62
