Important considerations for you and your

The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fue l injection and
emission control systems, and the generally increasing techn ical
complexity of today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the scope
of maintenance and repairs which can be carried out by veh ic le
owners.
Also , safety and env ir o nment al concerns place very strict
limits on the nature of repairs and adjustmen ts to engine and trans
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usua lly require special tools,
test ing devices and other equipment availab le to spec ial ly trained
workshop personne l in order to assure proper performance, reli
abil ity and sa fety of the vehicle and its many systems.
I mproper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the
operation and reliability of your vehicle and even void your vehicle
warranty. Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with the main
te nance schedule may be a condit ion fo r upholding a possible
warranty claim made within the warranty period.
