Safety notes
G
Risk of accident and injury
All work on the vehicle and, in particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. The specialist work-
shop must have 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 purpose. G
Risk of accident and injury
Some safety systems only function when
the engine is running. Therefore, do not
switch off the engine when driving. Other-
wise, the safety systems in your vehicle
may no longer function correctly and
thereby not provide you or others with the
intended degree of protection. This also
increases the danger of your losing control
of your vehicle and thereby the risk of caus-
ing an accident. G
Risk of accident and injury
Work carried out incorrectly, or alterations
made to the vehicle, e.g. rerouting of cables under coverings, could cause the safety
systems of your vehicle to stop working
properly. The safety systems would thus no
longer protect you and other persons as
intended. In addition, there is the danger
that you may lose control of your vehicle
and thus cause an accident.
All work and alterations to the vehicle, e.g.
installations or modifications, should there-
fore be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. G
Risk of accident
A heavy impact to the underbody, tyres or
wheels, for example when bottoming out on
rough terrain or driving over an obstacle at
high speed, could damage your vehicle. As
a result, you could cause an accident. This
also applies to vehicles which are equipped
with underbody protection.
For this reason, drive slowly over obstacles,
avoid bottoming out the vehicle in rough
terrain and, if necessary, have your vehicle
checked at a qualified specialist workshop. G
Risk of accident
If work on electronic equipment and its
software is carried out incorrectly, this
equipment could stop functioning. The electronic systems are networked via inter-
faces. Tampering with these electronic sys-
tems could cause malfunctions in systems
which have not been modified. Such mal-
functions can seriously jeopardise the vehi-
cle’s operating safety and your own safety
as well.
Therefore have all work on and modifica-
tions to electronic components carried out
by a qualified workshop.
Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres
to carry out technical inspections on certain
vehicles to improve their quality or safety.
If you did not purchase your vehicle from an
authorised specialist dealer and your vehicle
has never been inspected at a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, it is possible that your
vehicle is not registered in your name with
Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz can only
inform you about vehicle checks if it has your
registration data.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Introduction
