Never use a metal exhaust collector when you
service your vehicle. If the metal collector
contacts any of your vehicle's plastic trim or
bumper parts they could melt or deform.

[SV48800(ALL)01/95]
Do not drive your vehicle if it does not operate
properly. See your dealer if the engine runs on
for more than five seconds after you shut it off
or if it misfires, surges, stalls, or backfires.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
Testing
*
[SV48920(ALL)07/95]
In some localities it may become a legal
requirement to pass an Inspection/
Maintenance (I/M) test of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the vehicle's
powertrain system or its battery has just been
serviced, the OBD II system is reset to a not
ready for I/M testing condition. To prepare for
I/M testing, the law specifies a ªneed for
additional mixed city and highway driving to
complete the checkº of the OBD II system. As
soon as all of the OBD II system checks are
successfully completed, the OBD II system is set
to the ready condition. The amount of driving
required to reach the ready condition varies with
individual driving patterns. To complete this
requirement in the minimum amount of time,
refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle defined below. If
the vehicle owner cannot or does not want to do
the additional driving required by law, a service
center can perform this drive cycle as it would
any other type of repair work.
