NNOOTE TE 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:
R
the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high kerb or an unpaved road
R
the vehicle is driven too fast over an obsta-
cle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pothole
R
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
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 quali ed 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 tra c conditions,
and contact a quali ed specialist work-
shop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The elec-
tric motor's energy supply is provided by the high-
voltage on-board electrical system.

DDAN ANGER GER Risk of death and re due to
modi ed 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, modi ed and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a re.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
vehicle underbody, components of the high-
voltage electrical system may be damaged
although the damage is not visible.
#
Never make any modi cations 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 modi ed or dam-
aged.
#
Never touch damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem.
#
A er an accident, do not touch any com-
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
#
A er an accident, have the vehicle trans-
ported away.
#
Have the components of the high-voltage
on-board electrical system checked at a
quali ed specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
