Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating components
and connector leads, at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated.
Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi-
ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R
if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R
the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
!
The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be
complied with:
R
only approved wavebands may be used.
R
observe the maximum permissible output
in these wavebands.
R
only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Observe the notes on operating mobile phones
(Y page 277).
The following aerial positions may be used for
the correct installation of RF transmitters:
Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
;
Rear roof area
=
Rear wings
?
Boot lid
i
On vehicles with a panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front or rear roof
area is not permitted.
On the rear wings, it is recommended that you
position the aerial on the side of the vehicle
closest to the centre of the road.
