Practical hints Brush guard* Brush guard* Warning! G i Only lower brush guard to clean head lamps or to replace bulbs. The brush guard is designed solely to enhance the appearance of the vehicle and help protect grille and head lights from minor mishaps, either on- or off-road. Since the safety characteristics are limited in the event of an accident, brush guards are not intended to prevent injury or damage in the event of an accident. Also check state and local regulations on installation and use. Raise and lower brush guard in an open space with plenty of room. To help prevent personal injury when opening or closing the brush guard, use extreme caution not to trap hands or feet. The brush guard must be in raised and locked position while driving. 293
