This notation does not satisfy the require-ment, since it is conditioned on the model or the equipment of the vehicle with which the document

38、is furnished, and therefore addi-tional information is required to select the proper table. (2)(i) At the time a motor vehicle manufactured on or after September 1, 1990 is delivered to the first purchaser for purposes other than resale, the manufacturer shall provide to the pur-chaser, in writing i

Model P, 8-cylinder engineTable 2. Model QTable 3. This notation does not sa

49、tisfy the require-ment, since it is conditioned on the model or the equipment of the vehicle with which the document is furnished, and therefore addi-tional information is required to select the proper table.
