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 or injury due
to incorrect modifications on 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, these may no longer function
properly and/or jeopardise 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.
If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐
eral operating permit is rendered invalid.
