Warning!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants
could even be fatally injured.
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact your authorized dealer.
Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Note:
Take care when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of
the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
