01MY MR2(U) L/O 0008 Theft prevention labels Your new vehicle carries theft prevention labels which are approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.). The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in destroying the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels intact from one part to another, will be impossible. Suspension and chassis CAUTION Do not modify the suspension/chassis with lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. It can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. Types of tires Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with. Summer tires Summer tires are high-speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. NOTICE You should not attempt to remove the theft prevention labels as it may violate certain state or federal laws. CAUTION D Do not mix summer and other tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. D Do not use tires other than the manufacture's designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals. 2001 MR2 (OM17482U) 121
