Vehicle Modification Data Recording
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine and/or transmission
damage; refer to the
What is not covered
section in
The new vehicle
limited warranty for your vehicle
chapter of your vehicle’s
Warranty
Guide
for more information. Some vehicles are equipped with
Powertrain Control Systems that can detect and store information about
vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and torque output; this
information cannot be erased and will stay in the system’s memory even
if the modification is removed. When a dealer or repair facility works on
your vehicle, it may be necessary for them to access the information in
the Powertrain Control System. This information will likely identify if any
unauthorized modifications have been made to the system and may be
used to determine if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Special instructions
For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic
controls.
Please read the section
Supplemental restraint system (SRS)
in the
Seating and Safety Restraints
chapter. Failure to follow
the specific warnings and instructions could result in personal injury.
Front seat mounted rear-facing child or infant seats should
NEVER
be placed in front of an active passenger airbag.
