tact with hot parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of fire.
When driving
off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
Operating the integrated information sys-
tems and communications equipment in
the vehicle while driving will distract you
from traffic conditions. You could then lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic
conditions permit. If you are unsure about
the surrounding conditions, pull over to a
safe location and make entries only while
the vehicle is stationary.
G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components,
their software as well as wiring could
affect their function and/or the operation
of other networked components. This could
in particular also be the case for systems
relevant to safety. They might not function
properly anymore and/or jeopardise the
operational safety of the vehicle. There is
an increased risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well
as electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and elec-
tronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
!
There is
a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
kerb or an unpaved road
R
you drive too quickly over an obstacle,
e.g. a kerb, slowing thresholds or a pot-
hole in the road
R
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, under-
body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres 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 withstand.
If the underbody panelling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather between the
underbody and the underbody panelling.
If these materials come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system, they can
catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop. If, on con-
tinuing your journey, you notice that driv-
ing safety is impaired, stop the vehicle
immediately, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
The multimedia device is equipped with
technical provisions to protect it against
theft. Further information is available from
any smart Centre.
The functionality of a roof aerial (radio, DAB)
may be impaired if roof carriers are used.
Attaching metallised retrofit film to windows
may also affect radio and GPS reception and
have a negative impact on all other aerial
functions in the vehicle interior.
