Read the manual cause it IS funny!
 
Anyone here read the FRS owner's manual on the subject of snow tires?

"Tires must be of exact size and tread pattern"

"Never exceed 50 kph (30 mph) with snow tires.":burnrubber:

Houston, we have a problem...:lol:

this seems strange! what are you going to do if you are on a highway,
with ALL traffic traveling at 45 for the conditions? is this car too lightweight
for those speeds with dedicated snows installed? seems like something's not quite right with that!..just sayin'

I will be at the dealers again tomorrow to get a new taillight.

I might just have to ask about this.

Written by corporate attorneys, I would guess.

Try looking up a warning light. All it says is if their on see your dealership. Lol. I had my tire pressure light come on and couldn't figure out what it was. An since I have nitrogen tires I didn't understand why I had it in the first place. But oh we'll they fixed it.

The manual says not to use the jack that came with the vehicle.

Yep. I just installed my winter wheels and noted this while looking up the jacking points. I'm sure they mean use a real jack for all work when possible, and the trunk jack for flat tires on the road, but the wording isn't very clear. Or, rather, it is very clear...in telling you not to use the jack supplied with no further explanation.

yes! this is a safety issue because of "carbon monoxide" (exhaust) poisoning in an enclosed place.
