NOTE
Damage to the vehicle due to driving too fast and due to impacts
to the underbody and suspension components
IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS IN PARTICULAR, THERE IS A RISK
OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE:
R
The vehicle bottoms out, e.g. on a high kerb or unmade road.
R
The vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed
bump or pothole.
R
A heavy object strikes the underbody or suspension components.
In these or similar situations, the vehicle body, the underbody, suspen‐
sion components, wheels, tyres, or parts of the high-voltage battery
could incur damage, even if this is not visible. Components damaged in
this way can fail unexpectedly, lead to an increased risk of fire, or, in the
event of an accident, no longer be able to withstand the stresses arising
as intended.
#
Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
or
#
If driving safety is impaired while continuing your journey, pull
over and stop the vehicle immediately, with due attention to
road and traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The energy supply for the electric
motor comes from the high-voltage on-board electrical system.
&
DANGER
Risk of death and fire due to modified and/or damaged compo‐
nents of the high-voltage on-board electrical system
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system is under high
voltage. If you modify component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage on-
board electrical system or touch damaged component parts, you may
be electrocuted. In addition, modified and/or damaged components
may cause a fire.
In the event of an accident or impact to the underbody, components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical system may be damaged although
the damage is not visible.
#
Never make any modifications to the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
#
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its high-voltage on-
board electrical system components have been modified or
damaged.
#
Never touch damaged components of the high-voltage on-
board electrical system.
#
After an accident, do not touch any components of the high-
voltage on-board electrical system.
#
After an accident, have the vehicle transported away.
#
Have the components of the high-voltage on-board electri‐
cal system checked at a qualified specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary.
