Safety
notes
DANGER
A
blocked
exhaust
pipe
or
inadequate
ventilaj tion
can
allow
harmful
exhaust
fumes
to
enter
the
vehicle.
The
exhaust
fumes
contain
polluj
tants
which
are
colourless
and
odourless.
In
enj
closed
spaces,
exhaust
fumes
can
also
build
up
outside
the
vehicle.
There
is
a
risk
of
death.
Keep
the
exhaust
pipe
clear
and
ensure
suffij
cient
ventilation.
WARNING
With
electric
driving,
pedestrians
and
other road-users
might
not
detect
the
vehicle
as
well
as
usual
due
to
the
lack
of
engine
noise.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
