In situations such as these, damage tothe
body, underbody, suspension components,

ponents may not be visible. Components dam-
aged in this wa y can un expectedly fail or, in
th e case of an accident, may no longer absorb

th e high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
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-
nents may cause a /re.
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
vebeen modi/ed or dam-
aged. #

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

Only inter change the front and rear
wheels if the wheels and tyres ha vethe

changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vedi.erent dimensions can

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
