ity and/or the functionality of other networ ked
components or saf ety-re leva nt systems.
This can endanger theve hicle's operating
saf ety. #
You must not tamp er with wiring, elec-

The vehicle's high- voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in theve hicle's high- voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
component parts, you may be electrocuted. In
addition, modi/ed and/or damaged compo-

In theeve nt of an accident or impact tothe
ve hicle underbod y,components of the high-
vo ltage electrical system may be damaged
although the damage is not visible. #
Never make any modi/cations tothe
high- voltage on-board electrical system. #
Do not switch on or use theve hicle if its
high- voltage on-board electrical system components ha

WARNING
ARNING Risk of injury thro ugh di.erent
wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels can
se verely impair the driving characteristics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo-
nents may also be damaged. #
Only inter change the front and rear
wheels if the wheels and tyres ha vethe
same dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vedi.erent dimensions can
re nder thege neral ope rating permit in valid.
Obser vethe inst ructions and saf ety no tes on
"Changing a wheel" (/ page 336)
The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels
di.er:
R front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
R rear wheels wear more in the centre of the
tyre Do not drive with tyres
that ha vetoo little tread
dep th. This signi/cantly reduces traction on wet
ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
5,000 to10,000 km, depending on thewe ar.
