Summary

Service info: Conversion of imported vehicles. Technical background: Conversion of a vehicle for use in a market other than the one for which it was originally designed or intended is not supported. Enquiries related to conversions or retrofits of vehicles from (or to) other markets (e.g. reimport from USA or UK) are not supported by Technical Support. Vehicles are developed and constructed according to specific market requirements of the respective destination country.
