General notes
essary repairs carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of accident or injury due
to improper modifications to electronic
components
Modifications to electronic components,
their software or wiring can impair their func‐
tionality and/or the functionality of other
networked components or safety-relevant
systems.
This can endanger the vehicle's operating
safety.
You must not tamper with wiring, elec‐
#
tronic components, or their software.
Always have work on electrical and
#
electronic devices carried out at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐
eral operating permit is rendered invalid.
Observe the "On-board electronics" section in
"Technical data".
* NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driv‐
ing too fast and due to impacts to the
vehicle underbody and suspension com‐
ponents
In the following situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle:
the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
R
high kerb or an unpaved road
the vehicle is driven too fast over an
R
obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
R
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage to the
body, underbody, suspension components,
wheels or tyres and high-voltage battery
components may not be visible. Components
damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or,
in the case of an accident, may no longer
absorb the resulting force as intended.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
#
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
or
If driving safety is impaired while con‐
#
tinuing your journey, pull over and stop
the vehicle immediately, while paying
attention to road and traffic conditions,
and contact a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The
electric motor's energy supply is provided by the
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
& DANGER Risk of death and fire due to
modified and/or damaged components
of the high-voltage on-board electrical
system
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-volt‐
age on-board electrical system or touch dam‐
aged component parts, you may be electro‐
