WARNING
This vehicle has been modified to enhance its performance.
The steering, braking and handling of this vehicle will differ
from standard passenger cars and trucks. This vehicle
handles differently from an ordinary vehicle in driving
conditions which may occur on streets, highways and off road.
Avoid unnecessary abrupt maneuvers, sudden stops, sharp
turns and other driving conditions that could cause loss of
control, possibly leading to a roll over or other accident that
could result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers.
If larger tires are installed the speedometer will read lower
than the vehicles actual speed.
DRIVE WITH CARE, REDUCE SPEED
AND WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES.
This kit should be installed by a professional mechanic.
