In Germany and some other coun tries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-

requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts meet this requirement .The use of non-

R other road users could be endangered.
R the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
The use of non-approved part scould affect
your vehicle' soperating safety .Therefore,
Mercedes-Ben zrecom mends genuine
