WARRANTY INFORMATION

BASIC NEW CAR LIMITED WARRANTY

All parts of the vehicle, except tires, are covered against defects in factory-supplied materials and workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles,

CAUTION:

Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning that brake pads need replacement.

CAUTION:

Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction could cause converter to overheat, resulting
in possible damage to converter and vehicle.

CAUTION:

To avoid possible damage to vehicle use only ethylene-glycol based coolants with a mixture ratio from
44-68% anti-freeze. DO NOT use 100% anti-freeze as it will cause the formation of cooling system
deposits. This results in coolant temperatures of over 300° F (149°C) which can melt plastics. 100% anti-
freeze has a freeze point of only -8° F (-22°C).

CAUTION:

Propylene-Glycol Mixtures has a smaller temperature range than Ethylene-Glycol. The temperature
range (freeze-boil) of a 50/50 Anti-Freeze/Water Mix is as follows: Propylene-Glycol -26° F (-32°C) - 257° F
(125°C) Ethylene-Glycol -35° F (-37°C) - 263° F (128°C)

CAUTION:

Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol Mixtures can cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors.
Also Propylene-Glycol/Ethylene-Glycol has a different specific gravity than Ethylene-Glycol coolant,
which will result in inaccurate freeze point calculations.

WARNING:

Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by static electricity (ESD). Some will display a
warning label, but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by touching a metal ground point
on the vehicle prior to servicing any ESD sensitive component.

CAUTION:

Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.

WARNING:

Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel system component (fuel injection models).

WARNING:

Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion
of bulb with bare hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.

CAUTION:

Before operating vehicle, securely fasten passive shoulder restraints to the emergency release buckles.
The buckle fits in only one way. Ensure to position it properly.

CAUTION:

Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled
and could start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF position. DO NOT loosen or remove
radiator cap when cooling system is hot.

WARNING:

Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a thermostatic switch which may come on or
run for up to 15 minutes even after engine is turned off.

CAUTION:

Due to the different warranties offered in various regions and the variety of after-market extended
warranties available, please refer to the warranty package that came with the vehicle to verify all
warranty options.
