In order to avoid distraction which could lead to an
accident, system settings should be entered with
the vehicle at standstill and systems should be
operated by the driver only when traffic conditions
permit. Always pay full attention to traffic
conditions first before operating system controls
while driving. Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your car is covering a
distance of 50 feet (approximately14 m) every
second.

Any alterations made to electronic components can
cause malfunctions.The radio, cassette deck, CD changer
1 and
telephone

one of the components is defective or has not been
removed/replaced properly this may impair the
function of other components.
These malfunctions might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.We recommend that you have any service work or
alterations to electronic components done at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
