Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to
reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions
and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipollu-
tion regulations. Technical design, how-
ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con-
sumption of your vehicle and the level
of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are
very much within your control. Make
sure that your vehicle is maintained
correctly, and is driven carefully.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and ad-
justed by your approved dealer in ac-
cordance with the instructions in your
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has all the
equipment necessary for ensuring that
your vehicle is maintained to its original
standard.

use the make, type and gap specified

approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
