Some illustrations may show items that are optional for

lustrated.
This vehicle has been designed and manufactured as a

ments to comply with their specifications; therefore,
some sections may not apply in your country.
Most of the service procedures in this guide can be ac-
complished using common automotive hand tools. Con-
tact your service representative on servicing the vehicle
in accordance with the Periodic Service Schedule.

BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read and follow the safety label on the instrument pan-
el. Be sure you understand how to operate the vehicle
and its equipment as well as how to use it safely. Main-
taining good performance depends to a large extent on
the operator.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of
the lead acid battery charging process. A 4%
concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive
and could cause severe injury or death. Charg-
ing must take place in an area that is ade-
quately ventilated (minimum of 5 air
exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that
could result in severe injury or death, never
smoke around or charge batteries in an area
that has open flame or electrical equipment
that could cause an electrical arc.
