You could jeopardize the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels
as well as accessories relevant to safety
which have not bee napproved by Mercedes.
This could lead to malfunctions in safety-
relevant systems, e.g. the brake system .Use
only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of
equal quality. Only use tires, wheels and
accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to
strict quality control. Every part has been
specifically developed, manufactured or
selected for and adapted to Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. Only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
should therefore be used.
More than 300,000 different genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts are available for
Mercedes-Benz models.
All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers
maintain a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts for necessary service and repair work.
In addition, strategically located parts
delivery centers provide quick and reliable
parts service.
Always specify the vehicle identification
number (VIN) (Y page 364) and the engine
number (Y page 365) when ordering genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts. Operator's Manual
General notes
Before you first drive off, read this Operator's
Manual carefully and familiarize yourselfw ith
your vehicle.
For your own safety and a longer vehicle life,
follow the instructions and warning notices in
this manual. Disregarding the mmay lead to
damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Vehicle damage resulting from the disregard
of the instructions is not covered by the

This Operator's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipmen tof

exchange or repair any defective parts
originally installed in the vehicle in
accordance with the term softhe following
warranties:

networked components. In particular,
systems relevant to safety could also be
affected. As a result, these may no longer
functio nas intended and/or jeopardize the
operating safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
curb or an unpaved road
R you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or a hole in the road
R a heavy object strikes the undercarriage or
parts of the chassis.
In situations like this, the body, the
undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires
could be damaged without the damage being
visible. Components damaged in this way can
unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an
accident, no longer withstand the strain they
are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves, grass
or twigs can gather between the underbody
and the underbody paneling. If these
materials come in contact with hot parts of
the exhaust system for an extended period,
they can catch fire.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. If on continuing your journey you
notice that driving safety is impaired, pull over
and stop the vehicle immediately, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions. In
such cases, visit a qualified specialist
workshop. Declarations of conformity
