same as new parts. Examples of parts that may be serviced by exchange include engines,
transmissions, instrument clusters, radios, tape and CD players, speedometers and various electronic
modules.
RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations require the capture, purification and
reuse of automotive refrigerant gases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your air
conditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant.
DIGITAL VIDEO AND COMPACT DISCS(DVD/CD)
There are some things you should know about non-commercial DVDs and CDs. Labels applied to
home-recorded discs may curl, buckle or peel off. This can result in ejection failure, and repairs
required to remove a “stuck” disc are not covered by warranty. In addition, some home-recorded discs
may not be compatible with automotive players and may skip or produce error messages. If you
encounter this, check your player by using a commercial disc which is known to be playable. If a disc
is not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve the problem.

since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800 kilometres.
