* NOTE Damage to the vehicle caused by
driving too fast and by blows to the under-
body and chassis parts
The vehicle can be damaged in the following
cases in particular:
The underside of the vehicle makes con-
R
tact with the ground, e.g. on a high curb or
an unpaved road.
The vehicle drives too quickly over an
R
obstacle, e.g. a curb, a speed bump or a
pothole.
A heavy object hits the underbody or chas-
R
sis components.
In these or similar situations, the vehicle body,
the underbody, chassis components, wheels or
tires and parts of the high-voltage battery
could be damaged even if this is not visible.
Components that have been damaged in this
way can fail unexpectedly or, in the event of an
accident, may not absorb the loads that arise
as intended.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
#
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
or
If driving safety is impaired during the
#
rest of the journey, stop immediately pay-
ing attention to the traffic situation and
notify a qualified specialist workshop.
An electric vehicle has an electric motor. The elec-
tric motor's power supply is provided by the high-
voltage on-board electrical system.
& DANGER Risk of death and fire due to
modified and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
system is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
component parts, you may be electrocuted. In
addition, modified and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a fire.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
underbody, components of the high-voltage
electrical system may be damaged although
the damage is not visible.
Never make any modifications to the
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system
components have been modified or dam-
aged.
Never touch damaged components of the
#
high-voltage on-board electrical system.
After an accident, do not touch any com-
#
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
After an accident, have the vehicle trans-
#
ported away.
Have the components of the high-voltage
#
on-board electrical system checked at a
qualified specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
The components of the vehicle's high-voltage on-
board electrical system are marked with yellow
warning stickers. The cables of the vehicle's high-
voltage on-board electrical system are orange.
Example
High-voltage components that may become very
hot are marked with separate warning labels:
Example
Vehicles with an electric motor generate signifi-
cantly less noise than vehicles with internal com-
bustion engines. As a result, your vehicle may not
be heard by other road users in certain situations.
