Important information in the event of an emergency
In the event of an accident, quick and accurate action is needed. That’s why we provide so-called rescue data sheets for first responders. They contain vehicle-specific information on the location of security-relevant components and can be easily downloaded via the model overview. To support the training of emergency and recovery personnel we highly recommend our guide for rescue workers.
