How do I get moving?
Sit in the drivers seat either by clicking on the seat, or right click the van and choose "Drive".
Either click the actual key, or the key icon on the HUD. Once will turn on the battery and a second click will turn on the engine.
Use Page Up and Page Down, or E and C (Depending on SL Viewer) to change which "Gear" or driving mode you're in.
W is accelerate, S is brake. A and D turn. This may be the arrow keys on some viewers.
Here is a diagram of clickable controls (Can be clicked in mouselook too)
Cruise Control
Simply release the accelerator once you've reached the speed you want to drive at, and the vehicle will continue at that speed. If you want to slow down a bit you can tap the brakes.
Damage / Fluids
The vehicle has the familliar Sombre maintenance features. You will need to keep your Swift topped up with GFS Diesel Fuel, and Sombre DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) and engine oil. You will also need to do routine repairs if your engine gets damaged.
If you don't want to do this, access the menu, choose vehicle and use "Quick Repair"
You can refuel using any NTBI GFS compatible pump / jerry can. You can get one here.
To check the level of the DEF, Oil, and Damage you can click in the engine compartment - See the image below on where to click.
To check the fuel, or DEF you can look on the dashboard.
To refill the fluids, rez the Sombre Maintenance Cart nearby. You will need to be wearing the Sombre Gear HUD (You can request one using the vehicle menu). Click on the fluid you want to refill and you will pick a bottle up. Walk up to your Swift and open the bonnet. Then click the bottle you are holding and it will position itself. Click on the bottle to start pouring.
To repair engine damage you follow a similar process but choose the "Repair" option. The cart will position itself and then you can sit on it to start repairs.
High Roof
To install the high roof, select EDIT MODE from the vehicle menu. Then rez the high roof addon and wait for it to position itself. You can then select the roof first, then your Swift and link them. It will remove the old doors for you. Select EDIT MODE again and you're done!
Addons
Select EDIT MODE from the vehicle menu. Rez your addon and wait for it to position itself (Assuming its using the Sombre Addon Installer). You can then select the addon first, then hold down shift and select the Swift, and choose "Link" or press Ctl + L. Then select EDIT MODE from the menu again.

The first thing I'd like to say is that this is not spelled incorrectly. This is the British English spelling.

Back Addon... - Will bring up the menu for a back addon, if there is one

EDIT MODE
To be used before and after linking things to the vehicle. No need to reset scripts, just use this. Amongst other things, it will make sure the physics shapes are set properly. You can add "CONVEX" or "PRIM" into an objects description to set the physics shape accordingly.
Side Doors
You can change which side doors are functional using the Customise Menu. It can be set to Left, Right, or Both.
Windows / Panels
You can change between windows and panels for some of the parts on the van. Use the Customise menu for this and choose "Parts"
GTFO - Get The Freight Out
The Swift is GTFO enabled out of the box. You don't need to add any scripts. You can add CARGO!0/1/2/3/etc to make objects appear and disapear when you load or unload cargo.
Example: First object has CARGO!1 in description, the next object has CARGO!2 in description.
