Exercise caution and reduce speed when driving on rough or uneven roads, or over speed bumps.

The vehicle is fitted with low-profile tires to provide good performance and handling. As a result, the tire sidewalls are very thin, and the tires and wheels may be damaged when driving at high speed over potholes or rough or uneven roads. Exercise caution and reduce speed when driving on rough or uneven roads, or over potholes.
