WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any-
more 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 electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
If you carry out modifications to electronic com-
ponents, their software or wiring, this could
result in the invalidation of your vehicle's oper-
ating permit.
