If this chassis is equipped with an electronic stability system (ESP) and any part of the steering system (e.g., linkage, steering driveline, column, front-end alignment, etc) is repaired, removed, or disassembled in any way, or if the steering angle sensor is replaced, the steering angle sensor must be recalibrated. Any repairs or adjustments to any part of the steer- ing system must be performed by an authorized dealer. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
