It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with power assisted
brakes as standard equipment. In the event
power assist is lost for any reason (for example,
repeated brake applications with the engine
off), the brakes will still function. However, the
effort required to brake the vehicle will be much
greater than that required with the power
system operating.
If either of the two hydraulic systems lose
normal capability, the remaining system will still
function with some loss of overall braking
effectiveness. This will be evident by increased
pedal travel during application and greater
pedal force required to slow or stop. In addition,
if the malfunction is caused by an internal leak,
as the brake fluid in the master cylinder drops,
the Brake Warning Light will light.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/
bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a six sided (hex)
deep wall socket.

PECIFICATIONS
**Use only authorized dealer recommended
lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove any dirt or
oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or
loose particles.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease
in braking performance or vehicle stability
during braking may occur. It will take you
longer to stop the vehicle or will make your
vehicle harder to control. You could have a
collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
