● The installation of accessories, optional parts, should only
be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your
country, and in accordance wi th the guidelines fitting
instructions and warnings contained within the documents
accompanying the parts or accessories.

an electrical fire if incorrect ly fitted. Please refer to the
“Modification/alterations to th e electrical or fuel systems”
section within this owner’s manual.
● Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
● Tyres and wheels which do no t meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications ” section for information
regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
CAUTION!
● A label which reads “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY” is
attached to the fuel tank f iller lid of vehicles which
can only operate on unlead ed petrol. Serious engine
and catalytic converter damage will result if leaded
petrol is put into these ve hicles, and this must conse-
quently never be attempted.
CAUTION!
