Operating safety

& WARNING Risk of accident due to mal‐
functions or system failures
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this could result in malfunctions
or system failures.
Always have the prescribed service/
#
maintenance work as well any required
repairs carried out at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of accident and injury as
a result of incorrect modifications to
electronic component parts
Modification to electronic components, their
software or wiring could impair their function
and/or the function of other networked com‐
ponent parts. In particular, systems relevant
to safety could also be affected.
As a result, they may no longer function as
intended and/or endanger the operating
safety of the vehicle.
Never tamper with the wiring and elec‐
#
tronic component parts or their soft‐
ware.
You should have all work on electrical
#
and electronic components carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
General notes
If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐
eral operating permit is rendered invalid.
Observe the "On-board electronics" section in
"Technical data".
* 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 kerb or an unpaved road
the vehicle is driven too fast over an
R
obstacle, e.g. a kerb, 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
tyres 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.
