Risk of accident and injury
The operating safety of the vehicle could be impaired if service work is carried out incorrectly. There is a risk that you could lose control of
the vehicle and cause an accident. The safety systems may no longer be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do.
Always have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
