This will help ensure that vehicle function, per ­
formance and safety are not impaired¢& .
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the so ftware used with them can cause ma l­
f u nctions. Because of the way electronic compo­
nents are inte rconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adve rse affect on
other systems that are not directly involved . This
means that you risk both a substantia l reduction
in the operationa l safety of your veh icle and an
in creased wea r of ve hicle parts¢ .&,.

a profess ional and competent manner or, in spe­
cial cases, refer you to a professional company
that spec ializes in such modifications .
A WARNING
Improper repairs and mod ificat ions can
change the way veh icle systems work and
cause damage to the veh icle and ser ious per ­
sonal injury.
