Warning!
G
The brush guard is designed solely to
enhance the appearance of the vehicle and
help protect grille and headlights from minor
mishaps, either on- or off-road. Since the
safety characteristics are limited in the
event of an accident, brush guards are not
intended to prevent injury or damage in the
event of an accident. Also check state and
local regulations on installation and use.
Raise and lower brush guard in an open
space with plenty of room.
To help prevent personal injury when open-
ing or closing the brush guard, use extreme
caution not to trap hands or feet.
The brush guard must be in raised and
locked position while driving.
i
Only lower brush guard to clean headlamps
or to replace bulbs.
