Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
336 Introduction to technical dat
a
i The technical data was determined in
accordance with EU directives. All data
applies to the vehicle's standard equip-
ment. The data may therefore differ for
vehicles with optional equipment. You can
obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and con-
version parts and accessories which have
been specifically approved for your vehicle for
their reliability, safety and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to evaluate other parts.
Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts no respon-
sibility for the use of such parts in Mercedes-
Benz vehicles, even if they have been
independently or officially approved.
In Germany and some other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-
tion or modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Ben z
parts meet this requirement.
Observe the suitability of replacement parts
for your vehicle. In many countries, certain
parts which result in a modification to the
vehicle could invalidate the vehicle's general
operating permit . This is the case if:
R
they cause a change of the vehicle typ e
from that for which the vehicle's genera l
operating permit was granted
R other road users could be endangered
R the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
The use of non-approved parts could affec t
your vehicle's operating safety. Mercedes -
Benz therefore recommends genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts and conversion parts
and accessories that have been approved for
your vehicle . H
Environmental not
e
DaimlerChrysler also supplies recondi-
tioned assemblies and parts which are of
the same quality as new parts. For these ,
the same liability for material defects
applies as with new parts.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and approved
conversion parts and accessories are availa -
ble from Mercedes-Benz Service Centres.
There, you can also receive advice about tech-
nical modifications and have the parts pro-
fessionally fitted.

ber and the engine number when orderin gTechni

Risk of accident
Only have work on the engine electronics
and related components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The vehicle's roadworthiness could other-
wise be affected.
! Only have work done on the engine elec-
tronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors and connector leads,
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Otherwise, vehicle components
may wear more quickly and the vehicle may
lose its liability for material defects and its
operating permit. Retrofitting electrical and electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can jeop-
ardise the operating safety of your vehicle. If
equipment of this kind is retrofitted, it must
be type-approved and bear the emark. The
e mark may be obtained from the equipment
manufacturer or an authorised testing centre.
! Damage or consequential damage arising
from fitting equipment not approved
by Mercedes-Benz is not covered under the
Mercedes-Benz liability for materia l
defects.
If you wish to install two-way radios in the
vehicle, you must obtain formal approval.
Mercedes-Benz approves the installation of
two-way radios if such equipment is installed
professionally and a low-reflection exterior
aerial is used.
The transmission output of the two-way radio
must not exceed the maximum transmission
outputs listed. G
Risk of accident
Two-way radios may interfere with the vehi-
cle electronics and thereby jeopardise the
operational safety of the vehicle and your
own safety if: Technical data

Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
also cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior aeria l
takes into account current scientific dis-
cussions relating to the possible health haz-
ards that may result from electromagnetic
fields .
For this reason, only have the exterior aeria l
fitted at a qualified specialist worksho p
which has the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommend s
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualifie d
specialist workshop.
i To ensure optimum reception quality for
mobile phones and two-way radios in the
vehicle, and to minimise mutual influences between the vehicle electronics and mobile
phones/two-way radios, Mercedes-Benz
recommends the use of approved exterior
aerials. An attached exterior aerial has the
effect that the electromagnetic fields trans-
mitted by a wireless device are conducted
to the exterior of the vehicle; the field
strength within the vehicle interior is lower
than in a vehicle that does not have an
exterior aerial. Frequency range Maximum trans-

If electrical or electronic equipment
which does not fulfil these conditions is
retrofitted, the vehicle's general operating
permit may be invalidated (EU Directive 95/54/EC – the Automotive EMC Direc-
tive)

7 Tyres and wheels
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres which
have been approved by Mercedes-Benz
specifically for your vehicle. These tyres ar e
specially adapted for use with the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP ®
, and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information about tyres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Ben z
Service Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversel y
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, dimensional variations and differen t
tyre deformation characteristics could
cause the tyres to make contact with the
bodywork and axle components. This could
result in damage to the tyres or the vehicle. i
Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You will find a table of tyre pressures on the
inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap . You
will find further information about tyre pres-
sures in the "Operation" section

Risk of accident
Only have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted at a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-

changes to the cooling system may be nec-
essary, depending on the vehicle type.
