	Tripped thermal fuse	Each Power Wheels® 6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery has a built-in
		thermal fuse. A thermal fuse may “trip” and shut down operation
		of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions
		too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, release the power button
		and wait 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid
		repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by
		exceeding the 40 lbs (18 kg) maximum weight capacity or by
		towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run
		into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning
		while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse
		continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized
		service center
