Please Note
Mongoose-Plus®interfaces have been carefully designed and tested
to comply with OBDII protocols. However, some vehicle models are
not in full compliance with these protocols for various reasons. In
addition, the computer control systems or sensors on any given
vehicle may be malfunctioning or out of specification.
While OPUS IVS™ testing and the experiences of thousands of
Mongoose-Plus®users have shown the unit to be safe and reliable,
there is an inherent risk in using any product that may potentially
aect the operation or drive-ability of your vehicle.
If you are concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time
while using Mongoose-Plus®:
* Pull o the roadway immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so.
* Disconnect the Mongoose-Plus®from the OBDII port.
* Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.
Please report any issues or concerns to our Technical Support
Department at [e-mail] (734) 222–5228 option 3.
