Your attention is
dra
wn to the following points, compliance with which, we
suggest, will prove
mut
ually beneficial.
1. WARRANTY
DO
CUM
ENT
Retention of the Certificate or Passport to Service, signed by the Distributor or
Vendor, in a safe place in the vehicle will (by quickly establishing the date of sale)
help to expedite any adjustments under Warranty if such adjustments are re-
quired to be c
arr
ied
out
by a B.M .C. Distri b
utor
or Dealer other than the
supplier of your vehicle.
2. CL
AIM
S
UNDER
WARRANTY
Claims for the replacement of material or parts under Warr
ant
y must be
submitted to the supplying Distributor
or Dealer, or, when this is not possible,
to the
near
est Distributor or Dealer,
infor
ming them of the Vendor's name and
address.
Except in cases of emergency, Warranty work should always be carried out by
a franchise holder, since this ensures that no dou bt can arise in connection with
circumstances of the vehicle history when claims are
put
forward.
3.
PREVENTI
VE
MAINTE
NANCE
A Passport to Service containing Service Vouchers (applicable in the United
Kingdom only) is
prov
ided with every new vehicle,
and
the regular use of the
Vouchers in sequence is the best safeguard against the possi bility of
abnor
mal
repair bills at a later
dat
e. Replacement Pas p
ort
to Service Books are
obta
inable
free of charge from Distributors and Dealers. Prevent rather than Cure.
Regular servicing, proved by completed Voucher counterfoils, could well en-
hance the value of your vehicle in the eyes of a prospective buyer.
