Data Sources

Match the full product name and variant before using a parameter. A value associated with one vehicle configuration should not be carried over to another. Keep vehicle references separate from energy references, and match energy material to the specific product it describes.

Read the product and variant named in the source.

Check whether the material explicitly addresses the United States. Language alone does not establish market applicability. Read any regional scope or exclusions alongside the parameter rather than assuming that material for another market applies to your selection.

Look for an explicit market statement.

Read the units, stated conditions and explanatory notes together with the value. Where provided, retain the document title, date, revision and relevant section so the parameter can be traced back to its context. If conditions or units differ, resolve those differences before comparing values.

Keep the value connected to its conditions and source.
