http://www.mercedes-benz.com Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Ben ztests genuin eparts 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
unabl etoe valuate othe rparts. Mercedes-
Ben ztherefore accepts no responsibility for
the use of such parts in Mercedes-Ben zvehi-
cles, even if they have been independently or
officially approved.
In Germany and some other coun tries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-
tion or modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts meet this requirement .The use of non-
approved parts ma yinvalidat ethe vehicle's

The use of non-approved part scould affect
your vehicle' soperating safety .Therefore,
Mercedes-Ben zrecom mends genuine
Mercedes-Ben zparts and conversion parts
and accessories that have been approved for
your vehicle. H
