networked components. In particular,

systems relevant to safety could also be

affected. As a result, these may no longer

function as intended and/or jeopardize the

operating safety of the vehicle. There is an

increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as

electronic components or their software. You

should have all work to electrical and

electronic equipment carried out at a qualified

specialist workshop.

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high

curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a

curb or a hole in the road

a heavy object strikes the undercarriage or

parts of the chassis.

In situations like this, the body, the

undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires

could be damaged without the damage being

visible. Components damaged in this way can

unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an

accident, no longer withstand the strain they

are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,

combustible materials such as leaves, grass

or twigs can gather between the underbody

and the underbody paneling. If these

materials come in contact with hot parts of

the exhaust system for an extended period,

they can catch fire.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired

immediately at a qualified specialist

workshop. If on continuing your journey you

notice that driving safety is impaired, pull over

and stop the vehicle immediately, paying

attention to road and traffic conditions. In

such cases, visit a qualified specialist

workshop.
