TEDama getotheve hicle due todriv‐
ing toofast and due toimpacts tothe
ve hicle underbody and suspension com‐
ponents In
thefo llowing situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage totheve hicle:
R theve hicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high kerb or an unpa vedro ad
R theve hicle is driven toofast over an
obs tacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
R a heavy object strike sth e underbody or
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage tothe
body, underbody, suspension components,
wheels or tyres and high-voltage battery
components may not be visible. Components
damaged in this wa y can unexpec tedly fail or,
in the case of an accident, may no longer
absorb there sulting forc e as intended. 20

In cer tain cases, it may be requiredtostore data

poraril y.This may be the case if theve hicle has
de tected a malfunction, forex ample.
If yo u use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work,st ored operational data as
we ll as theve hicle identification number can be
re ad out and used. They can be read out by
service network emplo yees, such as workshops
and manufacturers or third parties, such as
breakdown services. The same is true in the
case of warranty claims and quality assurance
measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the
legally prescribed port forth e diagnostics con‐
nection in theve hicle. The operational data that
are read out document tech nical states of the ve
hicle or of individual components and assist in
th e diagnosis of malfunctions, compliance with
wa rranty obligations and quality impr ovement.
To that end, these data, in particular information
about component loads, tech nical events, mal‐
functions and other faults may be transmitted
along with theve hicle identification number to
th e manufacturer. Furthermore, the manufac‐
turer is subject toproduct liability. Forth is rea‐
son the manufacturer also uses operational data
from theve hicle, forex ample, forre calls. These
da ta can also be used toexamine the cus tom‐
er's warranty and guarantee claims.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outlet or at your requ est as part of repair
or maintenance work.
Con venience and inf otainment functions
Yo u can store con venience settings and individ‐
ual settings in theve hicle and change or reset
th em at any time.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, this
includes thefo llowing settings, forex ample:
R seat and steering wheel positions
R suspension and climate control settings R
individual settings, such as interior lighting
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle inf otainment functions
yo urself.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, this
includes thefo llowing data, forex ample:
R multimedia data, such as music, films or pho‐
to sfo r playback in an integrated multimedia
sy stem
R address book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free sy stem or an inte‐
grated navigation sy stem
R entered navigation destinations
R data about the use of Internet services
These data for con venience and inf otainment

ECO Assist is on lyan aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir
respective of whe ther the sy stem is

Inter changing the front and rear wheels can
se verely impair the driving characteristics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo‐

The wear pat tern s on the front and rear wheels
dif fer:
R front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
R rear wheels wear more in the cent reofthe
