WARNING
. Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.

the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.

moved without depressing the foot
brake pedal.
