Component protection
Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard, e.g. the
Infotainment system.
Component protection allows the legitimate installation and exchange of components and control units by a
qualified workshop.
The component protection prevents the factory-supplied components from being operated without restrictions
outside the vehicle in the following situations:
—Installation in other vehicles, e.g. after theft.
—Operation of components outside the vehicle.
Go to a qualified workshop if a text message relating to component protection is displayed on the instrument cluster
display or on the Infotainment system screen, e.g. SAFE CP (component protection active).
