THESE DOORS REQUIRE MORE THAN 25 POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO OPERATE MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE IS IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.

What you should do

REPLACE THE "EMERGENCY EXIT" SIGNS WITH SIGNS THAT READ "FOR MANUAL OPERATION, PULL LEVER DOWN". SINCE THE DOORS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED AS AN EMERGENCY EXIT, THIS ELIMINATES THE NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 217.
