WARRANTY INFORMATION
BASIC NEW CAR LIMITED WARRANTY
All parts of the vehicle, except tires, are covered against defects in factory-supplied materials and workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles, CAUT ION: Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning that brake pads need replacem ent.
CAUT ION: Continued operation of vehicle with a severe m alfunction could cause converter to overheat, resulting
in possible dam age to converter and vehicle.
CAUT ION: T o avoid possible dam age to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol based coolants with a m ixture ratio from
44-68% anti-freeze. DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the form ation of cooling system
deposits. T his results in coolant tem peratures of over 300° F (149°C) which can m elt plastics. 100% anti-
freeze has a freeze point of only -8° F (-22°C).
CAUT ION: Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a sm aller tem perature range than Ethylene-Glycol. T he tem perature
range (freeze-boil) of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows: Propylene-Glycol -26° F (-32°C) - 257° F
(125°C) Ethylene-Glycol -35° F (-37°C) - 263° F (128°C)
CAUT ION: Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors.
Also Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant,
which will result in inaccurate freeze point calculations.
WARNING:Many solid state electrical com ponents can be dam aged by static electricity (ESD). Som e will display a
warning label, but m any will not. Discharge personal static electricity by touching a m etal ground point
on the vehicle prior to servicing any ESD sensitive com ponent.
CAUT ION: Never use non-detergent or straight m ineral oil.
WARNING:Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel system com ponent (fuel injection m odels).
WARNING:Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which m ay explode if overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion
of bulb with bare hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
CAUT ION: Before operating vehicle, securely fasten passive shoulder restraints to the em ergency release buckles.
T he buckle fits in only one way. Ensure to position it properly.
CAUT ION: Always disconnect the fan m otor when working near the radiator fan. T he fan is tem perature controlled
and could start at any tim e even when the ignition key is in the OFF position. DO NOT loosen or rem ove
radiator cap when cooling system is hot.
WARNING:Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a therm ostatic switch which m ay com e on or
run for up to 15 m inutes even after engine is turned off.
CAUT ION: Due to the different warranties offered in various regions and the variety of after-m arket extended
warranties available, please refer to the warranty package that cam e with the vehicle to verify all
warranty options.
