Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such
as control units, sensors, actuating com-
ponents and connector leads, at a qualified
specialist workshop. Vehicle components
may otherwise wear more quickly and the
vehicle's operating permit may be invalida-
ted.
! Engine management measures under-
taken to increase performance can lead to
increased wear and tear or damage to the
drive system.
Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi-
ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.

WARNING
If you use the RF transmitter in the vehicle in
an improper way, its electromagnetic radia-
tion can disrupt vehicle electronics, e.g. if:
R
the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R
the exterior aerial is fitted incorrectly or is
not a low-reflection aerial
This can jeopardise the operating safety of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating in the vehicle, always connect the RF
transmitter to the low-reflection exterior aer-
ial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must
be complied with:
R
only approved wavebands may be used.
R
observe the maximum permissible out-
put in these wavebands.
R
only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
