Component protection
Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard, e.g. the
Infotainment system.
The component protection permits a correspondingly qualified workshop to legitimately install or replace
components and control units.
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.
If a text message about component protection appears in the display of the instrument cluster or the screen of the
Infotainment system, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop.
