Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact
with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather
conditions.

Excessive starter cranking, in excess of one minute, with an intermittently-firing or flooded engine,
can cause catalyst or exhaust system overheating. This also applies to lengthy pushing or towing of
vehicle to start (manual transmission only).
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with catalytic converter. A label on the instrument
panel and inside fuel tank Filler door will remind owners and filling station attendants of this
requirement. Important! It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into any vehicle labeled "unleaded
gasoline only".
pg. 61 Brake system
If one of the brake circuits should malfunction, the red warning light will come on
The pedal stroke increases slightly, the pedal feels softer and on cars equipped with ABS, extra pressure
is required for normal braking.
On vehicles not equipped with ABS extra pressure is not generally required for normal braking even if
there is a malfunction in one of the brake circuits.
If the red warning light comes on while driving or braking: stop immediately, open the hood and check
the brake fluid level in the reservoir (see "Brake fluid, power steering" section).
