Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible sudden tire failure. This can cause loss of vehicle control and death or personal injury. TRACTION – A, RAND C The traction grades, from highest to lowest. are A.

BULB REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT · If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediately and carefully dispose it. it. WARNING – Halogen Bulbs · Wear eye protection when changing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool before handling it. · Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas. If broken, a halogen bulb will explode and will produce flying pieces of glass. · Always handle halogen bulbs carefully to avoid scratches and abrasions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid contact with liquids. Never touch the glass with bare hands. Residual oil may cause the bulb to overheat and burst when lit. A bulb should be operated only when installed in the headlight assembly. ‘l-CAUTION A wheel thai is nol the correct size may ad ‘etsel)’ affect whl’c1 and bearing lire, braking and stopping abilities. handling chara!’.teristics. ground clearance. body-to-tire clearance. snow chain clearance. spef’domeler calibration. headlight aim and bumper height. 1_ Remove the headlight bulb cover by turning it countcrclocJ, wisc. 1.
