* N N O O TE TE Damage to the vehicle due to driv-
ing too fast and due to impacts to the
vehicle underbody or suspension compo-
nents
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
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage to the
body, underbody, suspension components,
wheels or tires may not be visible. Compo-
nents damaged in this way can unexpectedly
fail or, in the case of an accident, may no lon-
ger absorb the resulting force as intended.
If the underbody paneling is damaged, am-
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
of the exhaust system.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired

If driving safety is impaired while con-
#
tinuing your journey, pull over and stop
