The provisions of this section do not amend the requirements of CCR, Title 13, section 1962.1(c)(2)(D) that indicate the warranty period for a zero emission energy storage device used for traction power will be 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Manufacturers may modify this statement as necessary to inform Oregon vehicle owners of the warranty's applicability.
