ATTENTION:
Danger of burns from hot exhaust system.

NOTE:
- Check the rubber-metal mounts between the body and the exhaust system for cracks and elongation and check overall condition.
- During the life of the vehicle, the rubber-metal mounts must not soften to such an extent that the exhaust system starts to hit against adjacent components or the body.
- Check the exhaust system for contact with adjacent parts by shaking it manually.
- Examine the metal mount for corrosion and damage and check that it is positioned correctly.
- Damaged components must be replaced.
- The exhaust system must be moved to the correct installation position or damaged components must be replaced if necessary.
