in particular also be the case for systems
relevant to safety. They might not function
properly anymore and/or jeopardise the
operational safety of the vehicle. There is
an increased risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well
as electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and elec-
tronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
R
kerb or an unpaved road
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
R
kerb or a pothole in the road
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
R
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the under-
body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could
be damaged without the damage being visi-
ble. Components damaged in this way can
unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an acci-
dent, no longer withstand the strain they
are designed for.
If the underbody panelling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather between the
underbody and the underbody panelling. If
these materials come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system, they can catch
fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop. If, upon
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, consult a qualified specialist
workshop.

WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle.

WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may
restrict the clearance around the pedals or
block a depressed pedal. This jeopardises
the operating and road safety of the vehi-
cle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so
that they do not get into the driver's foot-
well. Always fit the floormats securely and
as prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do
