WARNING Risk of accident and injury in
th eeve nt of inco rrect con versions or

Con versions or changes totheve hicle can
impair the function of sy stems or compo‐
nents.
As a result, they may no longer function as
intended and/or endanger the operating
saf ety of theve hicle. #
Always ha vecon versions or changes to
th eve hicle made at a qualified work‐
shop. If
yo u are planning on making changes to your
ve hicle, wehighly recommend that you con tact
th e dealer named on the inside title page, who
will give you all the information you need. There
may be a charge forth is service.
If add-on equipment manufacturers and dealers
make modifications that af fect thefinal inspec‐
tion of the engine, vehicle or equipment, they
must accept sole responsibility forth eve hicle.
This also applies tomarking and documenting the
ve hicle parts af fected bythech anges that they
make.
Yo u are responsible for certifying and pr oviding
ev idence that thefo llowing conditions are me t:
R theve hicle complies with all releva nt stand‐
ards and regulations that are af fected bythe
modification.
R the modified vehicle still meets theve hicle
saf etyst andards and emission regulations.
R the modification does not impair the saf ety of
th eve hicle.
We are not responsible forth efinal inspection,
product liability or warranty claims resulting from
modification. This applies to:
R the modified components or sy stems.
R there sultant violation of emission regulations
or vehicle saf etyst andards.
R all consequences resulting from the modi‐
fi ed , less safe or even faulty vehicle.
We accept no responsibility as final manu facturer
or forth ere sultant product liability.
Even seeming lyminor changes totheve hicle,
such as attaching a radiator grill in winter, are not
permitted. Do not co verth era diator. Do not use

Otherwise,
theva lues of theve hicle's diagnostic
sy stem will be dis torted. Some of these values
are prescribed bylaw and must be cor rect at all
times.
The factory equips theve hicle with a wooden or
plastic cargo compartment floor; this is an inte‐
gral part of theve hicle stru cture. If you ha vethe
cargo compa rtment floor remo ved, theve hicle
body may be damaged. Load securing will then
be impaired and the maximum loading capacity
of the tie-down points will no longer be guaran‐
te ed. Therefore, do not ha vethe cargo compart‐
ment floor remo ved.
Note s onthe pa rtition
Wi thout a partition, vehicles that are appr oved as

thefo llowing situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage totheve hicle:
R The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a

Electronic control units are ins

operation of your vehicle, while some assist you
when driving (driver assis tance sy stems). In addi‐
tion, your vehicle pr ovides com fort and enter tain‐

electronic cont rol units.
The elect ronic control units contain da tamemo‐
ri es which can temp orarily or permanently store
te ch nical information about theve hicle's operat‐
ing state, component loads, main tenance requ ire‐
ments and tech nical events or malfunctions.
In general, this information documents thest ate
of a component part, a module, a sy stem or the
sur roundings such as:
R operating states of sy stem components (e.g.
fl uid le vels, battery status, tire pressure)
R status messages concerning theve hicle and
its individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revo lutions/speed, deceleration, lateral
acceleration, display of thefast ened seat
belts)
R malfunctions or defects in impor tant sy stem
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R information on events leading tovehicle dam‐
age
R system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, inter vention of sta‐
bility control sy stems)
R ambient conditions (e.g. temp erature, rain
sensor)
In addition toprov iding the actual cont rol unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐
mizing vehicle functions. The majority of this data
is temp orary and is only processed in theve hicle
itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored in
th eeve nt or malfunction memo ry.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical da ta
from theve hicle can be read out byservice net‐
wo rkemplo yees (e.g. workshops, manufacturers)
or third parties (e.g. breakdown services). Serv‐ ices include
repair services, maintenance pro‐

measures, forex ample. The read out is per‐
fo rm ed via the legally prescribed port forthe
diagnostics connection in theve hicle. The
re spective service network locations or third par‐

document tech nical statuses of theve hicle,

In the case of the manufacturer's online services,
th e manufacturer describes the functions in a

This vehicle is equipped with an event da ta

ing how a vehicle's sy stems per form ed. The EDR
is designed torecord da tarelated tovehicle
dynamics and saf ety sy stems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed torecord such

R How various sy stems in your vehicle were
operating;
R Whe ther or not the driver and passenger
saf ety belts werebuckled/fas tened;
R How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
th e accelera tor and/or brake pedal; and,
R How fasttheve hicle was tr ave ling.
This data can help pr ovide a better under standing
of the circums tances in whi chcrashes and inju‐
ri es occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
ve hicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded bythe EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gende r,age and crash location) are recor‐

of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash in vestigation.
Ac cess totheve hicle and/or the EDR is needed
