See an authorized smart center for repairs
or modifications to electronic
components.
Improper work or modifications on other
vehicle systems could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the
vehicle.

Some safety systems only function while the
engine is running. You should therefore
never turn off the engine while driving.
