For
Australia/New
Zealand:
general
When
reading
this
Owner's
Handbook,
please
bear
the
following
in
mind:
to
ensure
that
our
vej
hicles
continue
to
embody
the
highest
quality
and
safety
standards,
we
pursue
a
policy
of
conj tinuous,
ongoing
development.
Because
modifij
cations
in
the
design
of
both
vehicles
and
accesj sories
may
be
introduced
at
any
time,
your
ownvehicle's
equipment
may
vary
from
that
descrij
bed
in
this
handbook.
For
the
same
reason,
it
is also
impossible
to
guarantee
that
all
descriptions
will
be
completely
accurate
in
all
respects.
We
must
therefore
request
your
understanding
of
the
fact
that
the
manufacturer
of
your
vehicle
is
unable
to
recognise
legal
claims
based
on
disj
crepancies
between
the
data,
illustrations
and
descriptions
in
this
Owner's
Handbook
and
your own
vehicle's
equipment.
Please
note,
too,
that
some
of
the
optional
equipment
described
in
this
manual
is
not
available
on
Australian
models
due
to
restrictions
imposed
by
Australian
Design
Rules
and
other
requirements.
Should
you
require
any
further
information,
please
contact
your
Service
centre,
who
will
be
pleased
to
advise
you.
