Important safety notes
GWARNING
No information will be displayed if either the
instrument cluster or the display is inopera-
tive.

and indicator lamps or information about the
driving conditions, such as speed or outside
temperature. Driving characteristics may be
impaired. Adjust your driving style and vehicle
speed accordingly.
Contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
GWARNING
If service work is not carried out correctly, the operating safety of your vehicle may be affec-
ted. This could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle and cause an accident. More-
over, the safety systems may no longer be
able to protect you or others as they are
designed to do.
Always have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
