WARNING

Using unsuitable hub caps and fitting the hub caps incorrectly could cause accidents and serious injuries.

Hub caps which are not fitted properly could become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.

Do not use damaged hub caps.

Always ensure that the flow of air to cool the brakes is not restricted or reduced. This also applies to the retrofitting of wheel trims. If the flow of air is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.

NOTICE

Remove hub caps carefully and fit them again properly so as to avoid damage to the vehicle.
