8 General notes
When driving on unpaved roads or off-
#
road, regularly check the vehicle under‐
side.
Remove trapped plants or other flam‐
#
mable material, in particular.
If there is damage, consult a qualified
#
specialist workshop immediately.
* NOTE Damage to the vehicle
In the following situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle:
The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
R
high curb or an unpaved road
The vehicle is driven too fast over an
R
obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
A heavy object strikes the underbody or
R
chassis components
In situations such as this, the body, the
underbody, chassis components, 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, may not absorb the loads that
arise as intended.
If the underbody paneling is damaged, flam‐
mable materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can collect between the underbody and
the underbody paneling. These materials may
ignite if they come into contact with hot
parts on the exhaust system.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
#
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
or
If driving safety is impaired while con‐
#
tinuing your journey, pull over and stop
the vehicle immediately in accordance
with the traffic conditions, and contact
a qualified specialist workshop.
