PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Congratulations. This vehicle has been equipped with a Firestone air suspension system. This suspension will enhance
the vehicle’s handling when loaded, however, the vehicle’s performance may be altered so that the steering, braking
and handling characteristics of this vehicle may differ from passenger cars and trucks not equipped with this type of
suspension. A vehicle that is loaded will require more distance to stop. A load may alter the vehicle’s center of gravity;
therefore, extreme caution must be used to avoid abrupt maneuvers, sudden sharp turns, and other driving conditions
that could result in loss of control or rollover of the vehicle. Such a loss of control or rollover could result in serious
injury or death. Since the air suspension system is a modification to your vehicle’s suspension, it is recommended that a
professional mechanic perform the installation.

Keep in mind that your vehicle, while loaded, will exhibit different handling characteristics than when unloaded.

Always exercise caution when driving, reduce your speed when noted and fasten your seatbelts.

Please keep your

installation instructions and warnings with your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the service life of the vehicle
and provide that information to any subsequent purchasers or others who may use the vehicle with the air
suspension system installed.
If you need any additional decals, installation or warning materials, call 1-800-888-0650
for replacement materials.

DEALER/INSTALLER NOTICE

Enclosed with the air suspension system are two safety warning decals which must be attached to the
passenger’s and driver’ sun visor as a supplement to the FMVSS 575.101 warnings if they are in place.
The decal
is a safety reminder to the operator and passengers that the vehicle has been modified with an air suspension system.
It is the responsibility of the installer: (1) to affix the warning decals on the sun visors; and, (2) to provide to the end user
the installation instructions and warnings that are included with the air suspension system. The installation instructions
and warnings should be kept with the vehicle owner’s manual in the vehicle’s glove box at all times. It is a condition of
the product warranty that the decals be affixed while the system is installed. If you need additional decals for the vehicle,
please contact Customer Service at 1-800-888-0650 for replacement materials.
