Operating safety and vehicle approval
Information on vehicle operation
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
the vehicle makes contact with the ground,
R
e.g. on a high kerb or a loose road surface
you drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g.
R
a kerb or a pothole
a heavy object hits the underbody or chas-
R
sis component
In these or similar situations, the vehicle
body/frame, the underbody, chassis compo-
nents, wheels or tyres could be damaged
even if this is not visible from the outside.
Components that have been damaged in this
way can unexpectedly fail or no longer be able
to assimilate the loads occurring in the event
of an accident. If the underbody panelling is
damaged, flammable material, such as
leaves, grass or twigs, could collect between
the underbody and underbody panelling.
These materials could ignite if they remain in
contact with hot components of the exhaust
system for an extended period.
G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired imme-
diately at a qualified specialist workshop. If
you become aware when continuing the jour-
ney that driving safety has been effected,
stop as soon as possible in accordance with
the traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
