NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data (especially about th
e exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapid diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11
-5 or plugs that are
exactly the same. Other plugs could cause engine damage, performance problems orradio noise.
