Operating Instructions
Before the first journey
The Operating Instructions, Maintenance or Ser-
vice Booklet and the equipment-dependent Sup-
plements are integral parts of the vehicle. Keep
these documents in the vehicle at all times. If
you sell the vehicle, always pass all of the docu-
ments on to the new owner.
Read these documents carefully and familiarise
yourself with the vehicle before the first journey.
For your own safety and a longer vehicle life,
always follow the instructions and warning noti-
ces in these Operating Instructions. Disregard-
ing them may lead to damage to the vehicle or
personal injury.

the proper operation of your vehicle as well as

ranty.
Vehicle equipment
These Operating Instructions describe all the

possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not

WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any-
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
If you carry out modifications to electronic com-
ponents, their software or wiring, this could
result in the invalidation of your vehicle's oper-
ating permit.

WARNING
Gases and liquids from substances that con-
stitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape, even from securely closed con-
tainers. If you transport these substances
inside the vehicle, this may affect your health
and impair your concentration while you are
driving. It may also cause malfunctions or
electrical component system failures. There is
a risk of fire and accident.
