Possible danger due to substances hazardous to

health

In compliance with Proposition 65 (“Prop65”), the

following detachable label has been added to

each vehicle sold in California:

Operating safety

WARNING Risk of accident due to mal-

functions or system failures

If you do not have the prescribed service/

maintenance work or any required repairs car-

ried out, this could result in malfunctions or

system failures.

Always have the prescribed service and

maintenance work or any required

repairs carried out in a qualied special-

ist workshop.

WARNING Risk of accident or injury due

to incorrect modications on electronic

component parts

Modication of electronic components, their

soware or wiring could impair their function

and/or the function of other networked com-

ponent parts or safety-relevant systems.

This can endanger the operating safety of the

vehicle.

Never tamper with the wiring and elec-

tronic component parts or their so-

ware.

You should have all work on electrical

and electronic components carried out

at a qualied specialist workshop.

General notes

Observe the "On-board electronics" section in

"Technical data".

WARNING Risk of re caused by amma-

ble material on hot exhaust system com-

ponents

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or

twigs may ignite if they come into contact with

hot parts of the exhaust system.

When driving on an unpaved road or o-

road, check the vehicle underside regu-

larly.

In particular, remove trapped plant parts

or other ammable material.

If there is damage, consult a qualied

specialist workshop immediately.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driv-

ing too fast and due to impacts to the

vehicle underbody or suspension compo-

nents

In the following situations, in particular, there

is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a

high curb or an unpaved road

The vehicle is driven too fast over an

obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot-

hole

A heavy object strikes the underbody or

suspension components

In situations such as these, damage to the

body, underbody, suspension components,

wheels or tires may not be visible. Compo-

nents damaged in this way can unexpectedly

fail or, in the case of an accident, may no lon-

ger absorb the resulting force as intended.

If the underbody paneling is damaged, am-

mable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs

can collect between the underbody and the

underbody paneling. These materials may

ignite if they come into contact with hot parts

of the exhaust system.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired

immediately at a qualied specialist

workshop.

If driving safety is impaired while con-

tinuing your journey, pull over and stop

the vehicle immediately, while paying

attention to road and trac conditions,

and contact a qualied specialist work-

shop.
