Safety Message to Operators of Warning Light Equipment
People’s lives depend on your safe use of our products. Listed below are some important
safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system control while driving in a
hazardous situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this
fact and continue to drive cautiously.
• Situations may occur that obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-made
objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood or trunk lid. If
these situations occur, be especially careful.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the
tinting, and the angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt defects, and
steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may reduce the
effectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty, tinted, or steeply
angled glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or blocking the right of way
with your vehicle.
