It is necessary to keep holding steering wheel tightly with both hands while driving due to high-performance tire and quick steering gear ratio. Do not touch around hood outlet while engine is running or soon after engine has stopped due to high heat surfaces. Braking noise may be louder than ordinary passenger car due to high performance brakes. The flowing noise of power steering pump may be louder than ordinary passenger car due to small steering gear ratio.
