This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Performance Software Chips will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. Changes'made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted by the ARB, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

This Executive Order is granted based on results from emissions tests conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Performance Software Chips may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are .developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. ~If such test results demonstrate that the Performance Software Chips adversely affect emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, if such test
