thinner.

In addition, take great care not to damage any car parts during assembly.
Caution: The bonding strength of double-sided adhesive tape reduces at outdoor temperatures of less than 15°C. In this
case, use a dryer to heat the tape and contact surface until the temperature is about 40°C.
Warning: Securely tighten the bolts at given torque. Insufficient torque causes them to become loose with time and
eventually come off, resulting in a serious accident or failure.
Warning: The bolts are apt to be loose for a while after attachment, so tighten them further after your car travels several
kilometers.
Warning: Check whether this product interferes with any other parts after the attachment. If you find any interference,
contact your dealer. Running your car as is could cause a fracture or failure.

broken, or fail. In this case, immediately stop using the product.
Warning: If you feel abnormal shaking or noises during traveling, immediately park your car at a safe place and ask a
maintenance factory to conduct an inspection.
