Government regulati ons in the United States and
Canada require that automobi les meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Cana ­
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the conti­
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the poss ibility that:
- un leaded fue ls for vehicles with catalytic con­
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat­
ing . Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily available.
- Nav igation systems for veh icles built for the
U.S .A . and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not work in other countries
outside North America.

Maintenance
General '
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a min imum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintena nce consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam ­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some se rvice work
should be performed between the intervals speci­
fied. This applies particularly to:
- oil changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
@ For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help make sure that emission standards are
maintained, thus min imizing adverse effects
on the environment.
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increas ing use of elect ronics, soph istica ted
fuel injection and emission control systems, and
the genera lly increasing technica l complexity of
today's automobiles, have stead ily reduced the ..,_

the warranty pe riod.
Above all, operational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r you and
your p assengers.
