nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace

the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.

ers provided for this purpose in the

al site.
