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.

Refer to Service Information LICENSE PLATE attachment at front.

The license plate must be mounted exactly on the number plate baseplate.

If a number plate baseplate is not offered for the corresponding national-market version, the license plate must be mounted directly on the bumper using a drilling template

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