- You can turn fuel consumption on and off: go to the menu --> Vehicle --> Fuel System
- Start up procedure:

Editing
We've tried to make this vehicle as bullet-proof as possible, but given it's modifable nature, there might be certain cases in which it will fail to perform properly after being modified unprofessionally. Such cases are eligible for receiving customer support at our discretion.
IMPORTANT:
Please turn "EDIT MODE" on before any modifying that isn't reflected in vehicle's "Customize..." menu.
EDIT MODE can be turned on and off in the main menu (just click the vehicle).
Global Mod Link System (GMLS)
The Roamer has NTBI's GMLS system built in. This makes attaching addons easy. Read more about GMLS and how to use it here.
The GMLS CarID = LM_ROAMER_LHD | LM_ROAMER_RHD
Additional prims
Additional prims can be attached to vehicle's doors. They can have any rotation, position, and size. You can attach any number of prims(within sane limits).
To use, add:
Custom Wheels (Lusch Motors wheel package or the wheels that came with the vehicle)
If you don't accept the link permissions the script won't be able to automically link the new wheels. You can still manually replace the wheels using SL build tools, see below.
Custom wheels (3rd party)
You can replace the wheels with custom ones, as long as they are 1 prim each and regardless of their rotation, and without having to change any numbers.
How to:
1 - Set your car straight.
2 - Enable "Edit mode" via vehicle menu (important).
3 - Unlink current wheels and link yours.
4 - Set correct descriptions on your wheels (WHEEL_FL, WHEEL_FR, WHEEL_RL, WHEEL_RR)
5 - Turn off "Edit mode". It's done.
GTFO cargo
The Roamer is pre-equipped with GTFO system. Set the description of your cargo prims to "CARGO" to make them show or disappear when loading/unloading.
