G
WARNING
Always have all work on the vehicle, especially
work relevant to safety and work on safety-
relevant systems or service work, carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
Some safety systems only function when the
engine is running. You should therefore never
switch off the engine when driving. Otherwise,
the safety systems of your vehicle may not
function correctly and as a result will no
longer protect you and other persons as
intended. In addition, there is a risk that you
may lose control of your vehicle and thus
cause an accident.
G
WARNING
If you drive over obstacles at high speed or if
the vehicle bottoms out in rough terrain, it
could cause heavy impacts to the vehicle
underbody, tires or wheels. This could cause
your vehicle to be damaged, which in turn
might lead to an accident. This also applies to
vehicles which are equipped with underbody
protection.
You should therefore drive over obstacles
slowly. Prevent the vehicle from bottoming
out when driving off-road and if necessary,
have your vehicle inspected at a qualified
specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly, or alterations
made to the vehicle, e.g. re-routing of cables
under coverings, could cause the safety
systems of your vehicle to stop working
properly. The safety systems would thus no
longer protect you and other persons as
intended. In addition, there is a risk that you
may lose control of your vehicle and thus
cause an accident.
All work and alterations to the vehicle, e.g.
installations or modifications, should
therefore be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
If work on electronic equipment and its
software is carried out incorrectly, this
equipment could stop working. The electronic
systems are networked via interfaces.
Tampering with these electronic systems
could cause malfunctions in systems which
have not been modified. Malfunctions such as
these can seriously jeopardize the vehicle's
operating safety and therefore your own
safety.
You should therefore have all work and
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
