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 CD and the Owner’s Guide with new ones. Discard the original Owner’s Guide using your dealership’s normal recycling process. END Page 2 of 2
