EN8
Safety instructions
Always drive straight up/down a slope, never
ƒ
angle across it.
ƒ Drive carefully along (pavement) edges.
An uneven surface increases the risk of
overturning.
ƒ Avoid prolonged driving on inclines. This
can cause excessive wear on the engine and
electrical components.
Attention:
ƒ Your centre of gravity moves when you drive
up or down a slope. Please beware.
ƒ Turn around carefully on a steep slope as
there is a greater risk of overturning.
ƒ Always approach a curb from directly in
front.
ƒ Never reverse over a curb or obstacle.
The maximum curb height you can drive
ƒ
over is 5 cm.
Soft, slippery or uneven surfaces increase
ƒ
the risk of a dangerous situation.
ƒ The breaking distance can be significantly
longer on a slope than on a flat surface.
