Si c'est une boîte automatique, peut-être veut-il dire en position Parking.
Est-ce qu'il sait au moins la différence entre le frein à main et la position P d'une boîte automatique ? "Dodgy", c'est un jeu de mot automobile Tony ?

Perhaps "Weird.." is similar to a repetition command ???

Nathalie White Oct 18, 2007:

sorry about this... my laptop is gone mad, did not mean to spam you all.

Nathalie White Oct 18, 2007:

I agree with Tony M, it seems like the English is a bit dodgy. My Irish husband just had a look at it and he did not get it. It looks like the sentence should have been: 'Keep parking brake applied, else the vehicle will rush forward'. Weird..

I agree with Tony. I think they probably mean "or the vehicle will move forward".

Proelec Oct 18, 2007:

D'accord avec Tony. Je crois que le rédacteur a voulu dire quelque chose comme "faire un soudain bond en avant", tellement brusque que le conducteur n'a même pas le temps d'appuyer sur le frein pour éviter de percuter le premier obstacle rapproché venu ..

Tony M Oct 18, 2007:

Sounds like very dodgy English to me! I can't decide if it might be a typo for 'forward', or if the EN is REALLY bad, and it means 'Unless there is a fast-moving oncoming vehicle'. What's the EN like generally, do you know what the source language is?
