networked components. In particular,
systems relevant to safety could also be
affected. As a result, these may no longer
function as intended and/or jeopardize the
operating safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
R
curb or an unpaved road
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
R
curb or a hole in the road
a heavy object strikes the undercarriage or
R
parts of the chassis.
In situations like this, the body, the
undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires
could be damaged without the damage being
visible. Components damaged in this way can
unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an
accident, no longer withstand the strain they
are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves, grass
or twigs can gather between the underbody
and the underbody paneling. If these
materials come in contact with hot parts of
the exhaust system for an extended period,
they can catch fire.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. If on continuing your journey you
notice that driving safety is impaired, pull over
and stop the vehicle immediately, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions. In
such cases, visit a qualified specialist
workshop.
