How to Use This Manual
We want to help you get the most driving
pleasure from your vehicle. Your owner's

safety information, and driving under
various road conditions.

References to left hand and right hand are
made as if facing in the same direction
the vehicle faces. Although this manual
explains a left-hand-drive model, it also
applies to right-hand-drive models.

an alphabetical listing of all information in
your manual.

CAUTIONs, and NOTEs in the manual.
