only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of
equal quality. Only use tires, wheels and

approved for your vehicle.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to

tion, strategically located parts delivery cen-
ters provide quick and reliable parts service.

WARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs carried out, this can result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is a risk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nance work as well as any required repairs
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded 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 elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.

curb or an unpaved road
R you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or a hole in the road

or parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the under-
carriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires

being visible. Components damaged in this
way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of Introduction
