Information 

Risk of damage to chassis components 

• If the front-axle carrier, steering gear or front-axle support is not fitted correctly, never lower the vehicle onto its wheels! 
• Supporting the vehicle on the front-axle carrier or on the front-axle support (e.g. using a jack) is not permitted!
