To avoid malfunctions or system failures:
Always have the prescribed service and
#
maintenance work as well any required
repairs carried out at a qualified special‐
ist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of accident or injury due
to incorrect modifications on electronic
component parts
Modification of electronic components, their

This can endanger the operating safety of the
