if they cause a change of the vehicle type
from that for which the vehicle's general
operating permit was granted
R if other road users could be endangered
R if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected.
Always specify the vehicle identification num-

WARNING
Always have work on the engine electronics
and related components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle's operating safety could be affected.
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such
as control units, sensors and connector
leads, at a qualified specialist workshop.
Vehicle components may otherwise wear
more quickly and the vehicle's operating
permit may be invalidated. Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)

WARNING
Incorrect retrofitting of RF transmitters can
cause the vehicle electronics to malfunction.
The vehicle's operating safety and thus your
own safety are impaired.
Have aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment installed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. G
WARNING
Incorrect retrofitting of RF transmitters can
lead to increased electromagnetic radiation in
the vehicle interior. Using an exterior aerial
takes into account current scientific discus-
sions relating to the possible health hazards
that may result from electromagnetic fields.
Have aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment installed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
! The operating permit may be invalidated
if the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must
be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R the maximum permissible output in
these wavebands must be complied with.
R the approved aerial positions must be
complied with. Coupé: approved aerial positions

i On vehicles with panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to front or rear roof
area is not permitted.
On the rear wing, it is recommended to
position the aerial on the side of the vehicle
closest to the centre of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS
21609 (Road Vehicles –"EMC guidelines for
fitting aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment") when retrofitting RF (radio
frequency) transmitters .Comply with the
legal requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or aerial positions
must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the aerial must not exceed the
values in the following table:
