WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc‐
tions or system failure
In order to avoid malfunctions or system fail‐
ures:
#
Always have the specified service/
maintenance work as well as any nec‐
essary repairs carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of accident or injury due
to improper modifications to electronic
components
Modifications to electronic components,
their software or wiring can impair their func‐
tionality and/or the functionality of other
networked components or safety-relevant
systems.
This can endanger the vehicle's operating
safety.
#
You must not tamper with wiring, elec‐
tronic components, or their software.
#
Always have work on electrical and
electronic devices carried out at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐
eral operating permit is rendered invalid.
Observe the "On-board electronics" section in
"Technical data".

WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable
materials on hot parts of the exhaust
system
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 unpaved roads or off-
road, regularly check the vehicle under‐
side.
#
Remove trapped plants or other flam‐
mable material, in particular.
#
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:
R
the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high kerb or an unpaved road
R
the vehicle is driven too fast over an
obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
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 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.
