WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐
re ctly car ried out workon the RF trans‐
mitter
The electromagnetic radiation from RF trans‐
mitters can inter fere with theve hicle elec‐
tronics if RF transmitters are manipulate d or
re trofitted inco rrectly.
This could jeopardize the operating saf etyof
th eve hicle.
#Yo u should ha veall workon electrical
and electronic components car ried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of accident from incor‐
re ct ope ration of the RF transmit ter
If yo u operate RF transmit ters incor rectly in
th eve hicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could inter fere with the on-board electronics,
e.g.:
Rif th e RF transmit ter is not connected to
an exterior antenna
Rif th eex terior antenna is not cor rectly
mounted or is not a lo w-reflection type.
This could jeopardize the operating saf etyof
th eve hicle.
#Ha ve the lo w-reflection exterior
antenna ins talled at a qualified special‐
ist workshop.
#When operating RF transmitters in the
ve hicle, alw ays connect them tothe
lo w- reflection exterior antenna.
* NO
TEInva lidation of the operating per‐
mit due tofailure tocomply wi th the
instructions for ins tallation and use
The operating permit may be in validated if
th e instructions for ins tallation and use of RF
transmitters are not obser ved.
#Only use appr oved frequency bands.
#Obser vethe maximum permissible out‐
put po wer in these frequency bands.
#Only use appr oved antenna positions.

On vehicles with a panoramic sliding sunroof,
ins talling an antenna on the front or rear roof
area is not permitted. On
there ar fende rs, it is recommended that you
position the antenna on the side of theve hicle
closest tothe center of thero ad.
Use Tech nical Specification ISO/TS 21609 (Road
Ve hicles – EMC guidelines for ins tallation of
af te rm arke tra dio frequency transmitting equip‐
ment) when retrofitting RF (radio frequency)
transmitters. Co mply wi th th e legal requirements
fo r de tach able parts.
If yo ur vehicle has ins tallations for two-w ayradio
equipment, use the po wer supp lyor antenna
connections intended for use with the basic wir‐
ing. Be sure toobser vethe manufacturer's sup‐
plements when ins talling.
