Notes for persons with electronic medical
aids

developing vehicle systems, completely rule out
the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic
medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components installed in
the vehicle that, regardless of the operating sta‐
tus of the vehicle, can generate magnetic fields
on a par with permanent magnets. This fields
can, for example, be in found in the multimedia
or sound system or also in the area of the seats,
depending on the vehicle equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in isola‐
ted cases, depending on the aids used:

Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac‐
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doctor.

electrical vehicle systems and/or maintaining a
distance from the components if there is con‐
tinuing uncertainty concerning the possibility of
medical aids malfunctioning.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in the
area of the following components carried out by
