WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Contr ol Infor mation decal affixed to the factory air box, a new r eplacement label must
be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent
the vehicle from passing a smog check. Replacement labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall
not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood on a painted surface is recommended.
