Foreword The descriptions and service procedures contained in this manual are based on de- signs and methods studies carried out up to August 02. The products are under continuous development. Vehicles and components produced after the above date may therefore have different specifications and repair methods. When this is judged to have a significant bearing on this manual, supplementary ser- vice bulletins will be issued to cover the changes. The new edition of this manual will update the changes.
