Aerodynamic components

To benefit from the high driving performance with-

out impairing the driving safety or the service life 

of the vehicle components, certain vehicle parts 

must be always fully operational while driving.
f Regularly check your vehicle for signs of dam-

age. 

Damaged, worn or missing aerodynamic com-

ponents such as spoilers, rear wing or under-

side panels affect driving behavior and must 

therefore be replaced immediately.

The aerodynamic stability of the vehicle is influ-

enced considerably at high speeds by the front lip.
Due to the small ground clearance required for 

vehicle handling optimization, the front lip has to 

be placed in an exposed position to fulfill its func-

tion. It can be damaged, for example by ground 

or curbstone contact.

Roof panels
Driving with only one roof panel installed is not 

permitted for aerodynamic reasons.

es.

Setting and operating vehicle 

components when driving
