Use the mirrors to assist in traffic maneuvers. Always check and adjust

the mirrors before driving.

Failure to check or maintain proper operation of the throttle system can result in

proper operation before starting the engine. Check occasionally during

operation.
Do not start or operate the vehicle with sticking or improperly operating throttle

controls. Contact your dealer for repair if throttle problems arise.

Press the throttle lever to

increase engine speed and

vehicle movement.

movement.

tion when the operator releases the throttle lever.

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) stops the engine in the event of a throttle

system malfunction. Do not modify the ETC system or replace it with other

throttle mechanisms.
