Sensors and cameras
Incorrectly performed repairs, structural

changes to the trim can lead to sensors
and cameras being displaced or damaged.
This can interfere with important functions
of driver assist systems → .

performing repairs or modifications.
Add-on parts or modications in the
area of sensors and cameras
WARNING
If the area in front of and around sensors
and c
ameras is covered, e.g. by number
plates, number plate holders with trim
frames, additionally applied films or
paintwork on the sensors and similar, this
may prevent correct functioning of the
driver assist systems. Failure of the driver
assist systems can lead to accidents and
cause serious or fatal injuries.
·
Always ask a suitably qualified work-
shop whether installation of a number
plate or number plate holder with trim
frame is possible for your vehicle.
·
When installing, ensure that there is
a sucient distance from sensors and
cameras.
·
Make sure that the number plate or the
number plate holder with trim frame is
installed only in the specified position.

Do not apply any additional films in
front of or around sensors.
NOTICE
Incorrect installation of number plates and
number pla
te holders with trim frames can
damage components, e.g. cables or sen-

Always ask a suitably qualified workshop
whether installation of a number plate or
number plate holder with trim frame is
possible for your vehicle.

tal injuries.

Have the component replaced by
a suitably qualified workshop in the
event of damage in the area of the sen-
sors and cameras.
