In situations like this, the body, the
undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or
tires could be damaged withou tthe
damage being visible. Components
damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail
or, in the case of an accident, no longer
withstand the strain they are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather between the
underbody and the underbody paneling. If
these materials come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system for an
extended period, they can catch fire.
In such cases, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified
specialist workshop. If on continuing your
journey you notice that driving safety is
impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle
immediately, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. In such cases, visit a
qualified specialist workshop. Declarations of conformity
