[. . . ] Clothes hook (coupe): Hang items of clothing on the hooks in such a manner that they do not obstruct the driver's vision.

(Shutting down and restarting an engine which is running properly does not present a problem. ) Never let the engine run with any of the spark plug cables disconnected. Be sure to comply with the instructions above to prevent unburned fuel from reaching the catalytic converter. This could cause overheating, leading to serious damage of the catalytic converter. Extreme temperatures occur at the catalytic converter on this and every catalyst-equipped vehicle. Heat shields are installed adjacent to some sections of the exhaust system. Never remove these shields; do not apply undercoating to their surfaces. When driving, standing while the engine is idling, or when parking, be careful to avoid contact between the hot exhaust system and easily-flammable materials (hay, dry grass, leaves, etc. ). Such contact could cause a fire, resulting in personal injuries and property damage. < The catalytic converter reduces harmful exhaust emissions. It is designed for use with unleaded fuel only. Even minute quantities of lead would be enough to permanently damage both the catalytic converter and the system's oxygen sensor. To ensure efficient, trouble-free engine operation and avoid potential damage: > Be sure to comply with the scheduled maintenance requirements. > Fill the fuel tank well before it is empty. > If the engine runs roughly, shut it off as soon as possible. > Tow-start the vehicle only when the engine is cold. Tow-starting when the engine is warm could cause unburned fuel to ignite in the catalytic converter, resulting in significant damage. It is better to start the vehicle with an outside starting aid.

The reason: locked wheels are dangerous. When the front wheels slide, the driver loses steering control over the vehicle.
