REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Using rubbing alcohol and a clean shop towel, clean the certification label on the driver’s doorjamb. Allow the label
to dry.
2. Peel the backing off the correction sticker and apply it to the certification label in the exact position shown. Press the
correction sticker to make sure it’s properly affixed.
NOTE:
• Start by aligning the right edge of the correction sticker with the tire size text to the right, and the bottom of the
sticker with the text underneath the vehicle weight capacities. This helps ensure proper placement of the
sticker.
• Avoid touching the back side of the sticker to prevent transferring oil from your skin to the adhesive on the
sticker.
3. Replace the Owner’s Manual with a new one. Discard the original Owner’s Manual using your dealership’s normal
recycling process.
