Operating safety
Operating safety
Electrical and electronic equipment which
has been retrofitted can affect the opera-
tional safety of your vehicle. If equipment
of this kind is retrofitted, it must be type-
approved and bear the
e -mark.
If you wish to have mobile phones, two-
way radios or fax machines installed in the
vehicle, you must obtain formal approval.
Retrofitting electrical and electronic
equipment
Risk of accident
G
Work carried out incorrectly on electronic
equipment and its software could stop this
equipment working.
The electronic systems are interconnected
through interfaces.
Since the electronic systems are intercon-
nected, intervention in these systems could
also affect systems that have not been mod-
ified.
Malfunctions such as these could jeopardise
the operating and road safety of your vehi-
cle.
They could also alter the driving and braking
characteristics of your vehicle.
You could cause an accident and endanger
or injure yourself or others as a result.
Other work on or modifications to the vehi-
cle which are carried out incorrectly may
also impair the vehicle's operating safety.
For this reason, always have taximeters,
control systems, printers or other electrical
or electronic equipment retrofitted at a qual-
ified specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
