# 'PAR EXCELLENCE PACKAGE' GLOVE COMPARTMENT PORTFOLIO

PAR EXCELLENCE PACKAGE (GLOVE COMPARTMENT PORTFOLIO) MISSING OR DEFECTIVE 1989 MODELS

Beginning with 1989 new car production shipped after September 30, 1988, a different "Par Excellence Package" (glove compartment portfolio) will be shipped in applicable new vehicles. The package will be heat sealed in a plastic bag and will contain the following items:

A Leatherette portfolio with a location on the cover for placement of customer initials. An alphabet font is included with the portfolio.

Also in the portfolio package, will be a custom key fob and a jewelry like set of keys. The keys will be cut at the dealership prior to new car delivery.

The portfolio package also contains the appropriate 1989 Owner's Manual and the Maintenance Schedule. The appropriate 1989 Warranty and Owner Assistance information booklet is not included in the package. Rather it is installed in the glove compartment as a loose item, as is the separate tire warranty folder. Both of these publications should be added to the portfolio package before the car is delivered.

The supplemental keys can be ordered directly through DCI Marketing by calling 1-800-255-6537. Keys are available in a minimum quantity of ten ignition or ten trunk keys.
