* NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driv-
ing too fast and due to impacts to the
vehicle underbody and suspension com-
ponents
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 obsta-
R
cle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pothole
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
R
suspension components
In situations such as these, damage to the
body, underbody, suspension components,
wheels or tyres and high-voltage battery com-
ponents may not be visible. Components dam-
aged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in
the case of an accident, may no longer absorb
the resulting force as intended.
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, while paying
attention to road and traffic conditions,
and contact a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The
energy supply for the electric motor comes from
the high-voltage onboard 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.

General notes
In the event of an accident or impact to the
underbody, components of the high-voltage
on-board 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 sys-
tem.
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.
