Owners Manual

Safety-relevant malfunction message
In the USA:
In all 50 states and Washington, D.C.:
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying the vehicle distributor named on the
inside of the front cover.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your
dealer, or the vehicle distributor.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-888-327-4236(TTY: 1-800-424-9153);
or go to http://www.safercar.gov;
or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street
SW, Washington, DC 20590.
In Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a safety
defect, you should contact immediately the
Customer Service Department of the vehicle
distributor named on the inside of the front
cover.
