24 WARNING
Tuning products are often used to increase the power and performance of a vehicle as well as the economy. It is important to consider the extra performance gained through modifying your vehicle and use the appropriate track facilities for testing. Recent changes in the law mean that you must often be emission legal even on a track, so make sure you arrange the appropriate emission tests. Please be sure to consult your insurer before using tuning or vehicle configuration tools on a vehicle for use on public highway. Finally, more power, often means more engine wear. Please be aware of this as extreme power settings can reduce the life of your engine.
