51 11 158 Replacing base plate for number/license plate

Only use the vehicle-specific number plate baseplate.

The installation of other license plate baseplates is not permissible.

The number plate must be precisely mounted on the number plate baseplate.

If a number plate baseplate is not offered for the corresponding national-market version, the number plate must be screwed directly onto the bumper using a drilling template.

Incorrect assembly leads to a malfunction of the sensors of the driver assist systems.

Release screws (1).

Remove holder (2) towards front.
