G WARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenanc ew ork or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is ar isk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nanc ew ork as well as any required repairs
carried out at aq ualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is ar isk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
chec kt he vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardiz et he operatin gs afety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
acciden ta nd injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic component sort heir software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at aq ualified
specialist workshop. ! There is ar isk of damage to the vehicle if: R
the vehicle becomes stuck ,e .g. on ah igh
curb or an unpaved road R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or ah ole in the road R
ah eavy objec ts trikes the undercarriage or
parts of the chassis
In situation sl ike this, the body, the undercar-
riage, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed
to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody paneling. If these materials
come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system, they can catc hf ire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop. If on continuin gy our jour-
ney you notice that driving safety is impaired,
pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,
paying attention to road and traffic condi-
tions. In such cases, consult aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop.

Event dat ar ecordersThis vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an ED Ristor ecord, in certain crash or near
crash-lik es ituations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hittin gar oad obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how av ehicle's systems
performed. The ED Risd esigned to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for as hort period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The ED Rint his vehicle is designed to record
such data as: R
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating R
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened R
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the

dents and injuries occur. NOTE: ED Rd ata are
recorded by your vehicle only if an on-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by
the ED Ru nder normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and acci-
dent location) are recorded. However, other par-
ties, such as law enforcement could combine
ED Rd ata with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during ac rash investi-
gation.

to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and
special equipment is required. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have

vehicle or the EDR.
ED Rd ata may be used in civil and criminal mat-
ters as at ool in accident reconstruction, acci-
dent claims and vehicle safety. Sinc et he Crash
