WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them
incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become
loose while the vehicle is in motion and en-
danger other road users.
·
Do not use damaged hubcaps.
·
Always ensure that the airflow to cool
the brakes is not restricted or reduced.
This also applies if hubcaps are retrofit-
ted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the
braking distance could increase signifi-
cantly.
