WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐
re ctly car ried out workon the RF trans‐
mitter
The electromagnetic radiation from RF trans‐
mitters can inter fere with theve hicle elec‐
tronics if RF transmitters are manipulate d or
re trofitted inco rrectly.
This could jeopardize the operating saf etyof
th eve hicle.
#Yo u should ha veall workon electrical
and electronic components car ried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐
re ct ope ration of the RF transmit ter
If yo u operate RF transmit ters incor rectly in
th eve hicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could inter fere with the on-board electronics,
e.g.:
Rif th e RF transmit ter is not connected to
an exterior antenna
Rif th eex terior antenna is not cor rectly
mounted or is not a lo w-reflection type.
This could jeopardize the operating saf etyof
th eve hicle.
#Ha ve the lo w-reflection exterior
antenna ins talled at a qualified special‐
ist workshop.
#When operating RF transmitters in the
ve hicle, alw ays connect them tothe
lo w- reflection exterior antenna.

TEInva lidation of the operating per‐
mit due tofailure tocomply wi th the
instructions for ins tallation and use
The operating permit may be in validated if

transmitters are not obser ved.
#Only use appr oved frequency bands.
#Obser vethe maximum permissible out‐
put po wer in these frequency bands.

If yo u accidenta llyrefuel with the wrong fuel:
#Do not switch the ignition on.
#Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Ifth eav ailable fuel is not suf ficiently low in sul‐
fur, this can produce unpleasant odors. Only
refuel with fuel, that has at least the octane
number specified in the information table in the
fuel filler flap (
→page 141). This may reduce
engine output and increase fuel consum ption.
