CAUTION
. Your vehicles ground clearance
and approach angle are de-
creased due to the addition of
the front lip spoiler. Please ex-
ercise caution when parking the
vehicle, driving over speed
bumps, traveling up or down
steep inclines, or when under-
taking any other maneuver that
may involve the front end of the
vehicle.
. When towing a vehicle or loading
it onto a flatbed tow truck, extra
precautions must be taken to
ensure proper clearance between
the front lip spoiler and the
loading ramp or towing appara-
tus. Failure to allow for proper
clearance in these situations may
result in damage to the front lip
spoiler that is not covered under
warranty.
Extra care must be taken with vehicles
equipped with the front lip spoiler to avoid
damage to that accessory.
