The product is only approved for the applications described in the technical docu-
mentation. When using and operating this product, all applicable regulations and
laws must be observed.
ETAS products made available as beta versions or prototypes of firmware, hard-
ware and/or software are to be used exclusively for testing and evaluation pur-
poses. These products may not have sufficient technical documentation and not
fulfill all requirements regarding quality and accuracy for market-released series
products. The product performance may therefore differ from the product
description. Only use the product under controlled testing and evaluation condi
-
tions. Do not use data and results from beta versions without prior and separate
verification and validation and do not share them with third parties.
Before starting up the product, check whether there is a Known Issue Report (KIR)
for that product version:
www.etas.com/kir (password: KETASIR). Note the infor-
mation given in the report.
Program codes or program control sequences that are created or changed via
ETAS products, as well as all types of data obtained through the use of ETAS prod-
ucts, must be checked for their reliability and suitability prior to use or distribution.
Only use these codes or sequences in public areas (e.g., in road traffic) if you have
ensured that the application and product settings are safe through testing in self-
contained and designated testing environments and circuits.
This ETAS product allows you to influence safety-relevant systems or data (e.g. in
motor vehicles, vehicle components and test benches). In the event of a malfunc
-
tion or a hazardous situation, it must be possible to put the system into a safe
state (e.g., emergency stop or emergency operation).
