Component protection
Some electronic components and control
units are fitted with component protec-
tion as standard, e.g. the Infotainment
system.
The component protection permits a quali-
fied workshop to legitimately install or re-
place components and control units.
The component protection prevents the full
operation of factory-supplied components
outside the vehicle in the following situa-
tions:
— Installation in other vehicles, e.g. after
theft.
— Operation of components outside the ve-
hicle.
If a text message about component protec-
tion appears in the display of the instrument
cluster or the screen of the Infotainment sys-
tem, go to a qualified workshop.
