The customer must be informed about possible choices before delivery by filling out a selection sheet (a printable version is included). One copy of

the questionnaire stays with the customer, one copy goes to

sales department, and one copy to service department. According to the customer choices, the vehicle should be customized during the QC 1.

Selection changes during the ownership period are not reimbursable under warranty. The customer should not be charged for the programming.
