Operating safety
Important safetynotes
GWARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenanc ework or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or system failures. There is arisk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nanc ework as well as any required repairs
carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is arisk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
checkt he vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardiz ethe operatin gsafety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accidenta nd injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic component sortheir software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at aqualified
specialist workshop.
!There is arisk of damage to the vehicle if:
Rthe vehicle becomes stuck ,e.g. on ahigh
curb or an unpaved road
Ryou drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or ahole in the road
Raheavy objec tstrikes the undercarriage or
parts of the chassis
In situation slike this, the body, the undercar-
riage, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged, com-
bustible 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, they can catc hfire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop. If on continuin gyour jour-
ney you notice that driving safety is impaired,
pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,
paying attention to road and traffic condi-
tions. In such cases, consult aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
