General notes
Observe the "On-board electronics" section in
"Technical data".
& WARNING Risk of fire caused by flamma-
ble material on hot exhaust system com-
ponents
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system.
When driving on an unpaved road or off-
#
road, check the vehicle underside regu-
larly.
In particular, remove trapped plant parts
#
or other flammable material.
If there is damage, consult a qualified
#
specialist workshop immediately.
* NOTE 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, flam-
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
#
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.
